Torches receded into themselves

[KingAchto736]

I've had these two torches for a month or two and were doing fine. It seems like since I added a sump 2 weeks ago they haven't been doing well since.

Parameters
Ammonia. 25 to .50
Nitrite 0 ppm
Nitrate 40 ppm
Alk 8.4
Phosphate hr 2.2
Phosphate 1.02
Ph 7.72
Tds 705
Calcium 420-430
Magnesium 1280
Salinity 1.0255

Here's pics of two torches

You sure about the phosphate level?? This will hurt them at that sure its not 0.1?? Nitrates are high but wouldn't be the cause. Magnesium bit low try aim for 1320-1350 if you can. Has there been a big swing in any parameters over last week??

TDS reading is this your RODI water or you using tap water.

what test kits are you using?? Your ammonia might be a false reading of using API kits. If you have fish are they doing alright?

I'm using hannah checkers for phosphate high range and low range and alk. The tds
test reading was just from the tank itself. A month ago I got a rodi system and did a large water change from tap to rodi. I am using api for ammonia nitrites and nitrates. Fish are doing fine. Eupheillia seems to be receding a little also.

I've also been feeding the corals once or twice a week with fuel or reef roids.

I also put some of the phosphate media in a bag in one of the hang on the back filters. I believe it's phosphellium. Not at home at the moment to check the correct name.

I will start with checking magnesium and phosphate levels again when I get outta work.

Looks like the polyps bailed man sorry to see that seems like that's happening alot recently with people and torches. I know aussies are notorious for it but didnt think the indo variety was as bad?

Phosphate levels are very high this could be a contributing factor to the corals reseeding. But personally that torch is gone.
