A month or so back my sps were suffering from stn due to vibrant and chemiclean treatments. A few water changes later and the sps started to color up and grow again. I've noticed the past few days my Duncan's have not been out, my mini scoly is bleached a bit, and 2 of my sps are bleaching a bit at the base and polyps haven't opened since 2 weeks before I noticed the bleaching. The rest of my sps are looking great with great growth. Just seeing if anything from my test results look off or should I just keep doing more frequent water changes like I have been doing bi weekly.

Alk- 7.8 dkh red sea
Cal- 480 red sea
Phosphate- .06 hanna
Nitrate- 8-16 red sea
Salinity 1.025 hanna
Ph- 8.3 ghl probe
Temp- 77 ghl probe

I dose 4 ml acro power per day which I've noticed brought out alot of color and growth. Any help is great. Thank you
 
Nothing obvious with those parameters.
Magnesium?
It may take a few more months for the impacts of those treatments to pass.

Your numbers don't look bad.
Maybe try acro power every 2nd or 3rd day.
Amino acids help all life, good and bad.
 
Do you think I should keep doing frequent water changes? My nutrient levels actually get too low from doing water changes, so I end up dosing nitrate and phosphate. I have only been doing water changes to try to remove the vibrant and chemiclean. Wondering if I should stop doing them to let things settle
 
Maybe cut the middle then? 2/3rds the battle we face in reefing is finding balance. The last 1/3 is the discipline in maintaining it.
 
Slow down on the water changes and use chemifilter of polyfilter to remove Vibrant
