If you have any ro/di water left from the lfs test it for nitrates, you may be adding more to the tank, also 3 times a day feeding is way to much, cut this down to once every other day for now untill you get reduced nitrates, and using a external cannister will not help they are nitrate factorys, clean the filters out or even replace them at least once a week, would also suggest doing some back to back water changes, hope this helps ....

One other thing if you say the lfs has tested the water then ok, thought your test kits may of been out of date???
