Hey,
As your nitrates are high, do some more water changes. Coral Snow neutralizes undesirable acids and is a solution against slime algae and cyano bacteria. I use it everyday as I am on Full Zeo, but do recommend this product to people that are not using Zeo, it does work.
What is your bioload? I can't remember, maybe you are a little high there.
Also, If I recall this is a new system, maybe you are just doing too much too fast. Best thing about this hobby is patience and taking your time.
Call me if you wish on my cell (you still have it?) we can talk it over.
