    Chito, it sounds like your parameters are fine, so I would look to your system set-up for the origins of the problem.  Things like stocking density, fish tank to grow bed ratios. grow bed depth.  Please read through the Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb document that I created with Dr. Wilson Lennard here - http://aquaponicscommunity.com/page/aquaponic-gardening-rules-of - and see how close you come to these recommendations.  I"m betting the answer lies in there somewhere.
