do you have high phosphates out of your tap?
if yes, then the same thing removes silica removes phosphates
if no, then water changes. phosphates are one of those salts experience salt creep
over time. big water changes need to get the levels back down.

Its not in the water supply the last time i checked...but we are in the
middle of a drought and recently got about 2 days worth of rain,,,,the dam
is only about30-40% full at this stage so everything could be out of
whack....i started with 25% daily water changes....will test in a few days
