Blasto HELP!

[Thunderrap]

I need some help, my blastomussa's have been like this for going on almost 2/3 weeks and I don't know why. I can't tell if they are getting too much/not enough light, too much/not enough flow, or what. I'll list my water parameters, flow settings, and my light schedule just to try and see if someone might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong if anything, and what I can do to get them back open and happy:

Water Parameters as of this morning:
Salinity: 1.026 (steady)
pH: 8.3
Nitrate: 2-5ppm Salifert test kit
Phos: 0.02ppm Hanna
Alk: 9.6 Hanna
Calc: 425 Hanna
don't have a mag test kit

Blastos generally do better in lower light I believe.

They also like a little dirtier water. I run 25 nitrate and avg .20 phos.

Try moving them into the shade of the zoa/paly arch. Since it’s mostly the ones on top that are affected I’d guess it’s too much light.

Yeah I’ve turned off my skimmer and I’m going to start feeding more heavy to try and get my nutrients up some more.
