I haven't found an invert to eat that stuff. Take my advice like said above---Works Great! I havenj't had to add it since I did it a year ago and still have beneficial algae growing in my tank

Nothing eats it, you need to improve water quality to get rid of it. I suggest checking the TDS of that water you are using. Public RO/DI machines are seldom up to reef keeping standards when it comes to TDS. It's ok to drink or at least they tell us that but add to a reef tank and you got cyano and algae fuel. Increase water changes and use a good quality salt.

RO water is safe to drink, but RO/DI water is not safe for human consumption
