unfamiliar with a booster pump for RODI, but given systems are sized wondering what your TDS (total dissolved solids) might be - if you are at 5 or greater then normally its an indicator to change filters in RO/DI (some will change at 1-3), but in your case try taking off the booster pump and retest to determine if booster pump is pushing to hard
Sorry if this is a dumb question but what is LR or LS? I have had fresh water fish most of my life. Due to having 3 massive heart attacks early December somehow surviving it I can't work for the next 12 months so I decided to try salt water. Thinking it would be straightforward but turns out I was way wrong. But so many helpful people on here I have a feeling I will be able to sort it out with all the help on here. I'm very grateful for everyone's response. So thank each and everyone of you who have replied to my post. Im going to organise to take my remaining fish and coral back to the shop until it's 100% sorted. I have spent over 5k on my setup im way to invested to give it up now. Plus I know once it's all working properly I can sit for hours watching my fish rather than playing call of duty. Now I can do both haha
Live rock and live sand
Yeah my nitrates were through the roof nearly instantly turned red. Dory started getting spots on her but managed to get most of my fish in a mates tank which helped and saved most of them but I lost a clown tang and a couple of other fish I have no idea what they are lol. I thought it was all good last week added 2 more fish 1 died 4 hours after I put it in. But hard to tell if it was the water or he 2hour drive to get it home.Your daily water changes may be the cause for 0 nitrates. Wondering if there was a time you had measurable nitrates (like, before you added fish other than perhaps a single tough cycling fish - if live fish cycling was your method to start ammonia>nitrite>nitrate)
Wondering how fish acted and looked leading up to and at death. This can be a helpful post so you can help people help you:

Intense is an understatement. When people say they see the light when you die is not true i died 4 times and seen no light when the ticker stops its lights out. FYI you definitely know when your having a heart attack it's a pain you have never experienced before lol
Its not the drive ... fish get transported multiple plane trips to reach store
Okay, now, did the ammonia and nitrite ever test higher than 0.25?
