Some questions from when the site was down....

So while the site was down for maintenance I received my new Warner Marine ecoBAK pellets and some Brightwell MB7,
I dosed the MB7 at the "new tank/high nutrient level" dose for about a week, then I added 250ml of biopellets to my system, my GFO was taken offline when the pellets were added. For reference, my tank is approximately 3.5 months old and is a 55g with a 10g sump and 70lbs of live rock. My skimmer is the 2010 Reef Octopus NWB-150, rated for 150g. The current bioload is:
2 small (1") maroon clowns
1 small (4") foxface
1 large (3") firefish
1 large (12" across) brittle star
15 assorted hermits mostly blue legs
6 astrea snails
My question is, is my tank too young for the biopellets? Did I make a very bad mistake by adding them this early? How should I continue dosing the MB7 after my 2 weeks of "starting dose" are over?
Thanks,
Max
