Hello
How old is the system, and tell me a little about your skimmer.
A water change won't hurt...

Hello
Patience, at 4 months the tank still in the cycling mode. Keep the skimmers going full bore, an extra power head or two won't hurt.
Get that water moving. Adding some Activated carbon, or a poly filter will help scavenge any water borne organics. If you on Chicago water double check for PO4. All I can add is syphon it out daily, and it to will pass...
