    you might need more flow, a bigger clean up crew, or both.

    do you have a skimmer, if so what kind and if not it would be a good idea to get one because when you have a skimmer it "produces air bubbles which the detritus adheres to, and forces it outside the tank before it decomposes" (wikipedia). just an idea :)
