Best way to reduce organics ?

[Iain]

I'm sure there are a variety of ways, but what method is the most effective
way of reducing dissolved organics

Larger water changes
Activated Carbon
Poly filter
Feed fish less

+ more ?

Uh, protein skimmer?

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'd got a protein skimmer (Deltec APF600)

"""Larger water changes"""
- Are you using RO water? What nitrate levels are being introduced into the
tank to start with?

"""Activated Carbon"""
- What filtration are you using? If canister and you're already using
mechanical filtration then carbon will help with no major impact to
waterborne organisms. You'll be needing to replace the carbon every couple
of months to ensure that the contaminents aren't release (en-masse) back
into the water.

"""Feed fish less"""
- See the earlier post to your earlier query. How many fish do you have in
the tank (reducing the number of fish may also help?), what is the water
capacity? do you have live rock? How well established is the tank?
