Hi - I am having difficutly keeping Brain and Acans in my tank. Its a 29g Red Sea reefer. I am using the BRS AB light schedule for AI Prime HD. My parameters are

No3 - 2ppm
Nh3/Nh4 - 0ppm
No2 - 0ppm
No4 - 0.01 (recent Triton ICP Test Result)
PH: 8.2
Alk - 8.3
Mag - 1410
Cal - 480
SG - 1.025

I am running Triton Core 7 Other Methods.
My filtration is Tunze 9001 skimmer and Media Reactor with Rowaphos. I also keep a ball if Cheato in my sump on 12 hour reverse light schedule. I do a 10 percent Water Change each week using Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt.

I have a attched a few pictures of problems i am currently having but i have also lost 2 Lobophilya, Frogspawn and Torch recently. I have hammer, candy cane and small acan frags that seem fine.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I turn down the lights just a little , take the RowaPhos off line for a bit and do no water changes for a few weeks and see if they start to look better
I'm no expert but keep quite a few LPS in my mix reef tank
I also run Triton and use to have a reactor with po4 remover
Since I removed it months ago my lps have taken off
I just have cheato and a skimmer
Here's a few pics of some of my lps , Iv many more lol

Nice corals, Amazing tank. Thanks for that ill give it a try. Things seem to be getting worse for this lad dont know if its savable. I might start spot feeding with reef roids and a drop or 2 of amino in a small container and see how it gets on.

If it will feed than that's gotta be a good idea .
It does look a little worse in that last pic , hope I pulls through as it looks a nice coral
 
Possibly too much flow or too bright of light. The brain is probably a goner, once they start to go, they usually don't stop.

You water may be a little too clean and parameters are on the higher end for them
