I personally would just maintain 10% monthly water change and vacuum the bed, blow off your rock work first. ( I use a tube feeder and gyres for behind the rocks ) If I was to skip a change and vacuum things start to get ugly quick.  Your parameters seem ok could raise Mag and Cal but that's not going to help your issue. Go for the UV and DON'T undersize it. More clean up crew, tuxedo urchins and some turbo snails maybe a large zebra snail (they are algae killers) more conches and you should have a Tang gang. Don't overfeed the fish make them work. Clean your sump, run some carbon or a diatom filter to remove suspended matter. ( Magnum polishing internal canister filter) I use this filter in my sump while in feed mode so the debris it kicks up doesn't go in the tank after feed mode ends just let it run for a day. When I do a water change I add this filter to help with the material that gets kicked up from the vacuum and cleaning of the rock work. Make sure you rinse your pre filter twice a week and change your socks at least once a week.Than there's Vibrant or Chemiclean, I have used Vibrant twice in the last three years with good results.Honestly your tank looks good just need to get your issue under control. The last thing that you might try is two alternating gyres as it breaks the surface but creates flow throughout the entire tank.</blockquote>
