How can I reduce the BOD and oil and grease in my waste stream?

We have a relatively small batch waste treatment system. We have two 10K gallon tanks. They have activated sludge from the municipal waste treatment facility. Our water is fairly clear, the TSS is about 200 mg/l. We think our problem is soluble BOD contributing to oil and grease. Our limit for O/G is 100 mg/l and we’ve been around 124 and 150 on a couple of occasions. Would it help to seed with industrial bacteria specifically tailored to our needs? Where are some sources for such products?

How long will it take after I fill my 120 gallon tank (Marine) for the water to clear?

I have a Marine tank and I filled it last night with the salt, decorinator, purple up, and bacteria. There’s no on filter right now because one of the back internal overflows has a leak so the water is just kind of sitting there with one jet blowing it around. How long will it take to clear up or will it not take that long after the filter starts running?
