Alkalinity and pH issue... looking for advice.

The concern is corals not thriving?

You are using well water? Do you purify it? Have you had it tested for heavy metals?

Yes well water through a 7 stage rodi. Resin depletes quickly

Ah, ok. As long as it is 0 ppm TDS, it isn't a problematic source of heavy metals.

Ya only use 0 TDs. My well water is approx 680. After 7 stages goes down to 0

I don't know if it would be a chemical issue or something else (light, flow, disease, fish picking on corals, etc.), but an ICP test can diagnose some of the possible chemical issues.
