Hi my reef is going on a little over one year old today and I've been having issues with just the general health of the tank and I'm not sure if its because I'm bad at this or because it's nature and things don't always turn out I suppose wondering if there's anything I can do or add to try and improve my corals health and maybe revive the dying ones. So the corals, I have a Duncan that has grown a ton of heads, an orange plate that looks pretty healthy, my zoas have been spreading slowly recently they have been stretching out or extending upwards (not getting enough light?), my montipora has almost fully receded and my lepto died off and has only recently started to come back but the polyps have recently started to get smaller again so idk if it's lighting or what, the parameters are all in the green so I'm not sure. I'll attach some pictures.

Also feel free to ask any and all questions I'm trying to get my tank back on track
 
Please list your water parameters, so we have a better understanding of what’s going on.
 
I see some brown slimy growth around coral . I suspect higher phosphate and nitrate.
Are you using tap water or RODI water?

What is your:
Ammonia
nitrate
PH
salinity
temperature
phosphate

Is tank at or near a window?

Currently untraceable phosphate Ammonia and low nitrate, not 0 though, temp is 80 even always, salinity is 1.026 and ph is 8.0 my lighting is the reefled50 at the 23k preset lighting
 
What have you changed from when it was doing good? Sounds like you’ve had success and your tank doesn’t look like it’s struggled. Can you please provide your full parameters. Alk, ca, pH particularly

what do you feed and frequency?
What’s your water source for changes and what’s the frequency? What salt?
Do you dose anything?
