How deep is your sandbed? Are your mangroves actively growing and putting on new leaves (while retaining the older leaves)? Same with the Chaeto, if it's not actively growing it's not consuming nutrients. How often do you do water changes?

git rid of all he filter media you have and things should be fine. There is no way you only feed once every 3 days, grow chateo, and have a skimmer and still have nitrate problems. Check your water source and maybe your test kits.

Make sure to rinse out your Mysis before feeding too.
