Your all 0's if they truly are 0, is the reason why GSP is dieing on you. Corals need nutrients, not 0's.

6 Powerheads in 36G bowfront? Might be way to much flow also lol.

My old tank was a 30 and many more under that. you do not need that many powerheads for sure.
Know it's not your first rodeo, BUT
Have you tested your tank for metals? (check magnets for rusting or leaching)
what are your parameters including SG
Lights?
How long has the tank been up and running?

Iodine is not something to worry about. Traces are added with Water changes.
I would honestly look at getting an ICP test done to see what your saying is actually in line with what’s going on in the tank.
Are you noticing anything else dead besides the Xenia.
