I washed buffered mine and still experienced a period of about or a week or two that I constantly fought it. I think it's a matter of time and passing enough water and nutes to balance things out. I don't know if I'd recommend to start over with it or be vigilant and give it some good flushes until things settle. It's up to you. I'm guessing that since it's only running for 4 days that pathogens, bacteria, or algae are the cause. If you have the time, IMO, I'd try to calm it down rather then try to replant things. Hate to waste nutes, but maybe a good extended flush and come back in with a mild solution until you can see how it wants to act.
