Sounds like you need to suck it out during WC's? Or redirect some of the flow...the cleanup crew looks pretty good, I mean you can add more, but they have to find he poo to remove it.

what you are seeing is not necessarily fish poo. most of it is bacterial flock from the LR. a clean up crew will not help get rid of this. remember clean up crews poo also. at some point the poo becomes uneatenable by anybody and will sit in that corner till YOU take it out with a siphon the NEXT waterchange.

go get your hands wet and suck it out next water change.
