Make sure you add additional flow to these all-in-one systems, as they never have enough. If it don't have a protein skimmer, this is also a must. Finally, what do you have all in the system? If the system is overstocked, no matter how much flow and a good protein skimmer you have, you will run into problems.

I have the same problem. I bumped up the circulation and added some turbo snails. It seems to be helping quite a bit.
