Let us not forget our friends the flies, seems that they will use excretia for laying eggs and nurturing their larvae.

Once a week use a gravel vac when you do your water changes and there wont be a problem anymore. I mean your bio filter should break down most of your waste but a gravel vac will suck up any extra.
