I agree about the overfeeding. I know someone in the NJAGC that manages his 
MTS population by controlling the amount of food he puts in the tank. I am 
pretty sure he doesn't have any loaches either. It works really well. He 
hardly has any there and the tank is set up for a few years already. It is a 
high tech CO2 tank with a lower pH, but I don't know the parameters re Total 
hardness and alkalinity.

I was able to get rid of MTS completely using Yoyo loaches 
http://www.loaches.com/species-index/botia-almorhae , but it took almost a 
year.

Clown loaches will do the trick as well.
