High nutrients or not enough light

Red sea. Leds, 3/4 way up and the lights are 19" off water

 

[duke62]

Red Sea is not accurate for po4 or even no3. Lights seem kinda high up to me

 

[fishmaster818]

The par at its level is 350-370

A few more questions, how long is your tank running? Do you have a sump with skimmer? Do you mix your new saltwater yourself? If you mix your self, did you check your TDS of your RODI? Any wavemakers or surface skimming? What is your SS#?.......................Just kidding my friend on that last question, LOL
Lots of questions but it can help us solve your problem.

API is even worse then Red Sea.
