Hard to say... Me personally I would do a large water change and run carbon... Seems to be the duct tape of reefkeeping... Then I sit back and think it through haha... So I guess react then respond here...

Respond always imo. I had to do this with several issues.

Take a step back, test, observe, think .......Only make one change at a time, test and observe, think ....repeat. If you start changing 2 or 3 things at a time, you will never know what the problem was. This also applies to making changes to tweak your system and make it better.
