magnesium little low 1360ppm target. sps high flow light maybe if par is 4 to 500 and i t came from 250 to 300 par needs to be acclimated slower put it lower to the bottom of the tank let it acclimate and slowly raise the height in the tank as u see it do good .

well right now a lot of sad things. I’m about to do a water change
 
Well sad news. Came home from work yesterday and lost my homewrecker acrO FRAG, WD, Optimus prime and a couple other SPS

At this point I don’t know what’s going on. I ordered a ATI ICP test comes in next Wednesday. I’m starting to suspect that it’s maybe my RODI? My handheld meter says 0.....

maybe my tank had some type of pollutant. I do run carbon...
 
i had similar issues when i first started my tank. put sps in around 4 months. looked great for some time. added more corals, everything went downhill. i suspect it has to do with your nutrient and alkalinity balance. that low of nutrients - your alk should be at 8dkh at the most. you also started messing around with your lights. so much changed happened to a relatively new tank. sorry man.

hows the tank coming along,

im having similar issues after a transfer from new to old tank. what changes did you make since last post?
 
Tank is a lot better. I ended up putting all my surviving corals in someone's elses tank and did a 100% waterchange and removed some sand and fixed the aquascape and removed some sand.

Not sure what the issue was... I did set a light setting I was happy with and I haven't touched it since then. Everything is back to normal and happy and growing. I dont know what causes my crash but by doing the 100% WC I did notice everything changed after that
