dKH is what again? Something between 7 and 9 would be good.Water parameters are as follows:
KH: 196.9ppm
Calcium: 440ppm
Phosphate: 0.25ppm
Nitrate: 0
Salinity 1.027
All of the frags in this tank were added in late July.

Phosphate measuring kit is which brand? Hanna ULR is the standard
Generally speaking, 0 nitrate is not enough. Unless you are feeding fish heavy and often. Are you?
Salinity is a tad high.
The API kit is okay for nitrate measuring and it is showing 0 residual NO3. So it is fairly safe to say you aren't overfeeding just yet as I don't see any visible hair algae. Small systems are kinda tough as the slightest contaminant does not dilute out much.I used the API master reef test kit. 1.027 was prior to it being topped off and is back at 1.026. Its quite possible that I am overfeeding as this is actually the smallest tank that I have and is my first saltwater tank. It's a 10g with 20lbs of live sand and about 15 pounds of live rock. I'm using an Aquaclear 20 with filter floss and chemi-pure blue. I used a Current USA marine light and below are is the schedule I've been using with the percentages.
11dkh and 0 nitrates could be part of the issue .Water parameters are as follows:

Are you testing for the iodine ?There's a few inverts (2 bumblebee snails, 2 trochus snails, a margherita snail), a small clownfish and a scooter blenny. I've been feeding a pinch of new life spectrum marine pellets and frozen baby brine shrimp. I've also been dosing trace minerals, calcium, and iodine at 0.5ml a day.
