So I’ve been having trouble with sps having STN after about a week or two. I just received my test relays back and would love to see what people think would cause this. My alk, calc, mg are all super stable and alk fluctuates 8.7-8.5 daily.

I'm following this.

I wonder if you would benefit from some trace element solution (like tropic marin or esv's). Im curious, hows the flow and nitrate level?

Flow is solid. It’s a 80 gallon shallow reef and I have a gyre 4K , mp10, and a sicce sdc xtreme. For nitrates last time I tested they were around 10 and phosphates were close to zero.

Also didn’t know if the copper level and aluminum levels would pose any concern.

I think those are so low that it wouldn't cause a problem.

I agree.

Also agree that a trace element supplement may be beneficial. I don't really see a reason for a problem with corals.
