Hello,

Your numbers don’t look bad, I would slow down dosing a bit since they are on the high side. Do you have it placed in the sand with medium flow? What lights were they under at LFS? How long have you had it ?
 
I run my alk between 9-10 with med flow. My long tent plate seems to love.
 
Lights a are radion g4 pros was running them 50% bit reduced to 30% had it about a week
 
Running reef crest mode on Mobius light schedule lps template from Mobius as well
 
Running reef crest mode on Mobius light schedule lps template from Mobius lfs store says the tanks were high in phosphates I have a hard time raising my phosphates
