Nothings happy in my tank! Pic heavy

[Mike in CT]

Dump the 10 gallon. I would consider them for seasoned experts only. (I am not one of them) I know things went a lot better for me when I upgraded from 30 to a 75. Suddenly crashes ( or the start of crashes) were much more able to get back under control.

You cant find phosphates in your tank or the water report I sent you? If they are not in your tank thats great but on the water report if you scroll down it tells you everything in your home water supply. IMO Nitrates of 3.7 is high. But I'm an SPS guy. I've ran my tank before with a low p04 and Nitrate reading and corals did not seem happy. IMO I think the test kits we use do not measure exacting but do give us a base. The better test kits are very constant as well, I like the Salifert kits myself.

Also looking at those pictures I'd say you need more light. Your hammer/frogspawn, cant tell witch one, is brown. The rock in your tank looks good, does not look like a tank with a p04 or nitrate problem. Your other corals you have posted will just about grow in the dark and they do like dirty water.

Are you still using tap water or have you done the right thing and changed to Distilled/RO-DI ??
There is a common ground amongst all of us giving you advice here, your water choice is a MAJOR fail.
I was thinking the other day, if I had your tank, I would (and correct me if I am wrong people) do a 100%WC twice in a week or so. Then gradually decrease the amount, say to
you reach 20% weekly, until all parameters are ideal and coral begin to forgive me.

A 100% water change is not the answer, IMO. You take the chance of wiping out the beneficial bacteria and may wipe out the tank.
