2 suggestions.

1. keep up your WC schedule. Plants/denitrator probably introduced more problems that what you try to solve. My tank has gone from complicated setup to today's : airpump + OHF with WC every 3-4 days.

2. Try not to overload the biosystem. I once had 9 gfs in 3ft. All sorts of problem popping up trying to fix the ammonia/nitrate issue: Filter wool that requires changes every 2 days, white worms starting to appear, tank coated with slim/brown algae. Fish fell sick after 2-3 months and I am losing casualty. Now I have 4 gfs in a 3ft tank and bioload is manageable.
