Your tank is already established. Is there a reason to use this instead of a dechlorinator like API, Seachem or Nutrafin?
I've never advocated the use of "bottled" bacteria, and have seen first hand, that shops like Fishy Business telling people to add this every time they do water change just to make sales.
As far as I am concern bacterias are sensitive to our warm weather and have limited shelf life. Bacteria are living organism and I don't see how one can survive and survive with great efficiency with no oxygen, bottled up in shops like c328 which is obviously warm.
You can check out Dennis Wong's take on it. He unlike me is advocating a neutral stand on this. Noticed he used the word "Snake Oil" in the title.

Issues in the aquarium don't happen a week later after water change. Problems arises after several weeks 1-2 months of accumulative problems. That's how it's always been.
I would stop dosing it and just do my weekly water changes, but that's just me.
If however your water start turning green, it's the start of green water.
