you need to be rinsing your food before you feed and it looks like you also need to increase your flow in the tank, keeps things from settling too much.

I would also add a gfo reactor to the tank to remove some of the nutrients and manualy remove anything you can. It might take a few months but you can get it under control and then maintain it.

Good luck - and hey Reefwars - nice of you to offer to come all the way from Bali to help a fellow out!

how old is the tank?...how much flow do you have?...how big is the tank and how many pounds of LR and or dry rock did you use?......how many fish and what flavor?.....are you straining/draining your frozen food?.....

Tank is a year and a half old.
I have the return pump, maybe 400gph, a koralia 3 and 2. My koralia 1050 has a new part being shipped and I'll add that too.
DT is 55 gal with a 30 gal sump.
I have about 60 pounds of live rock at least
1 each yellow tang, coral beauty and clown.
I don't strain the food.
