More water changes, more live rock. Adding more animals means the bio-filter must increase in size, resulting in detectable levels of nitrogen. Basically, a so-called mini-cycle. Do you have any other filters?
 
A bio-wheel? Not ideal for SW--it increases the evaporation by an incredible amount. Are you monitoring your salinity?
