You need to feed more and add nitrates, your best bet is to dose nitrates and test every 20 minutes until you're at 2-5. I had nitrates go from 2 to 0 a few times a day until it the bacteria caught up, now it's once or twice a week but I feed twice as much as I used to as well.

I usually feed 2x a day though what you say makes sense so I'll up that to 3x.
