Jaw Breaker experience? Need Expert Help Please

[LRT]

Pretty much had a major catastrophe. Recently starting dosing sodium nitrate after I found my nitrates bottomed out at 0. (bad test kit)
Come to find out after dosing nitrates my test kit was bad after testing with red sea kit (fluorescent purple) off the charts!
All my shrooms had bad reaction. My bounces lost bounces and started shriveling up but have since bounced back!
My Jaw Breakers on the other hand are not recovering and found one detached on the bottom of table last night.
Not sure what to do at this point my Nitrates are between 15-20 ppm.
Phos 0.
Cant do another water change as I experienced a minor recycle earlier and re sressed them all out after minor ammonia spike.
Before Catastrophe-

Now-

Og bounced back but looked the same as JB's above.

15-20ppm a little on the high side but not out of scope at all for softies.
I am concerned if you really have 0 phosphates, you should maintain trace amounts maybe 0.03-.2

This is my main concern as my lfs doesnt open until thursday!
Before catastrophe I was reading 0.25 on salifert kit. I know a little high but my Nitrates where bottomed out on API kit.
Plus I can't do another change as I've changed 75% and recycled earlier today but ammonia is back down to undetectable now. Just cant chance it.

@LRT Man this bums me out Quick fix you can try carbon dosing to reduce the nitrates. Are you're running a skimmer on that tank right?

Yes skimmer is acting a bit wonky after the 75% water change but starting to settle down now.
I dont run carbon.
But I do have a carbon repalcement filter that i use as sponge to clean tables.
I can macgyver it and put on my uv outlet at least for now to get some kind of carbon filtration until Thursday.
Be back shortly.
Wouldnt be too stressed but they got worse after the mini cycle earlier today and started letting go of foot hold and dropping out of no where now!

Ya the ammonia spike did the number. Outside of what you're gonna do in the short term is probably the quickest way I can think to get things back on track. I'd drop them in cups with rubble and leave them in the tank...
