I am running about 350 gallons of water across multiple tanks in a single system. I checked nitrates (red sea kit) and phosphate (phosphorus hanna checker) and cross checked them at the LFS. Both of these parameters maxed out the tests... The only adverse effect I am seeing is Red Slime (Cyano) as well as very slow coral growth.
I believe the source of the problem is from excess feeding. While I am reducing feeding, I am looking for a one-time solution to bring these levels back to a normal level.
My System:
What product would be best short term?
Long Term looking to reduce feeding amount, and add more bio-bricks. Other Ideas?
Thanks!

My System:
- 1x Bio-XPORT Brick
- 1x NO3-XPORT Brick
- Bio "cubes" in refugium
- Cheato (with flow to keep it tumbling) - Not growing
- (No substrate in fuge)
- Algae Scrubber (Not growing algae though...)
- Skimmer
- Filter Socks - Replaced 3 times per week
- Shallow sand, cleaned (stirred) 2-4 times per month
- Small UV filter (just in case) and Activated Carbon
- RODI reads 0 TDS
What product would be best short term?
- Dr. Tim's Waste Away
- Microbacter7
- Red Sea NO3: PO4-x
