Well a water change will certainly help, but you need to find out where it is coming from. Do you have any sponges or other similar filter media in your system? If so that could be part of the problem. Rinse them well and frequently preferrably with ro water. I didn't re-read the whole thread but are you rinsing your food? Flake food in particular is high in phosphates since they use it as a preservative.
