The gooey slime will appear. Just a matter of time only. As for rotten egg smell, it is also a sign that the denitrator is choking up.
30 deniballs for NR1000 is ok. If too many, you will risk anaerobe blooming leading to choking, rotten egg smell and less nitrate being removed. There is a limit with regards to flowrate n size of the denitrator.
