You think I have to much flow running can it be that also is it better when the fans facing each another or the way I have it

pumps are fine..white pics,icp have never done ,but both you need kits,icp results will take time..
how many gallons total? carbon and white pics

Having pumps off set each other is best. Second carbon
Any alk or calcium swings?

Yes I do not sure if I did a right had to move the white box on the bottom of the rocks took all the sand out just left the front sand

I was tire of doing a water change every week my rodi system is slow I still need 30 gal more

The way I had the rocks before it was nice now it's disaster I just have one pump running till I get the water going I hope corals make it I put so much money on this tank more them 20k doesn't even look good

How long has your tank been running and how long has things like no3, po4 and alk been stable? You say Nitrates are 30 but after wc the Hanna checker says 2.99ppm. Stability is key with any reef aquaria. +1 on that power strip, get it out of there or mount it upside down to reduce salt creep and or splashing water. Just curious why you have MP60's in a 4' tank if your keeping LPS? Even dialed back, you could've saved a ton of money using a smaller power head.

What's in the 2 different reactors in Pic #21. Salinity? How were previous corals before this purchase? You can buy ICP test kit from just about any online vendor, sample water and mail them in. Instructions are in the kit. Get a booster pump for your rodi unit if it takes a long time to produce water. Are there chloramines being added from your town or cities water supply, if so run a chloramine filter as a replacement or addon for one of the carbon blocks.

Run carbon as stated above and don't add any more coral until your system becomes stable.
