I am so sorry but newbie but bear with me - I would think reducing duration of refugium light should translate into increasing level of po4 and nitrates ? Assuming I am not using anything else to adjust those (except feeding)

Your low nitrate and phosphate are why your trachy is dying. Your other corals will begin to decline also. You need to increase these numbers. Cutting back the fuge may help a little. Feeding fish more, feeding corals something like reef roids or oyster feast will help to. I had to double dose neophos and neonitro for several weeks before my numbers came up. Once the numbers rose the corals greatly improved.

Morning measurement
Phosphate - .02
Nitrates - 3.7
Ph - 8.45
Stopped calc dosing
Recently (few months back) due to a phosphate spike i was running refugium light 24x7 - turned it down to 4 hours. So keep a close eye.
Guy (Trachy) is looking OK (not as bad as it got yesterday) after these changes and a bath of revive.

Todays reading
Phosphate - .12
Nitrates - 5.0
Ph - 8.20
Again a phosphate spike - but corals are looking vibrant so not doing anything rash until the nitrates come up.
Trachy however is stable but criticle.
