So I've been struggling with sps for a while. They have always been my Achilles heel. I'm hoping someone cam give some ideas of where to go next?
Tank - 50 gallon waterbox cube
Power heads - 3 mpw10qd
Lighting- Radion G4 Pro with 4 T5 supplement (par 400 at top, 140-200 on bottom)
Nyos Skimmer

LPS seem to do well as do zoas. I did recently have a elegance polyp bail but only recent loss.
Sps are a disaster. They just seem to fade away. Type, level in tank etc, nothing seems to help.

Tank parameters
Alk - 8.4
Calc - 425
Po4 - .05
Salt- redsea blue bucket
 
Tank is about 18 months old. The system has been together about 3 years. This was an upgrade from a red sea 170. I recently bought a burning banana frag. It looked good for about 2 weeks then polyps stopped extending and the tissue faded. Soon after tissue recedes and its gone. Seeing the same issue with chalices right now as well
 
I'll test NO3 tonight and see what I get. Started testing last night and realized it was expired by two years
