I do 20% water changes every two weeks. I suspect that I have been over feeding but it has not been an issue for my existing lps but since I added the SPS I have cut back on the grub.
Raising the temp is easy enough. I have been cooling the sump by running a fan across the surface because I thought the high temps were contributing to the film algae on the glass. Perhaps I should make this weekends water change a big one?

If you can, I'd do a 50% change. That will impact the NO3. The temp will contribute to the film algae a bit, but it's there for mostly the same reasons as the brown is in the corals.
That should clear up a bit once the other issues are settled. I feed quite heavily (I guess that's subjective  ) and don't have issues, so more of a nutrient management process. A great skimmer helps. Maybe smaller more frequent feeding? Or, if you're really dumping it in, back it off a bit.

I definitely don't dump in the food, actually the reverse. I contribute the high nitrates from the eels appetite for frozen shrimp. Having some buyers regret over that purchase, especially after he took a huge chunk out of a coris wrasse and my neon goby dissappeared.
 Ever since I make sure he is well fed, every three days.
