    Greg, keep up with small but frequent water changes, add some macro algae to sump if possible,(cheato or caulerpa, like Jim said this is a good method of nitrate removal), i have some of both if you want some, .. do not add anymore bioload to the tank for now, give the clean up crew time to "catch up". be patient, your tank is still very new, manully rmove any hair algae that you can get to so the snails can mow it down easier. keeping up with these things along with the maturing of your tank will slowly set things on the right path. as long as your not adding excess nutrients to your system you should see great improvement in a couple of weeks
