Firstly, what are your water parameters right now and what do you usually aim for?

Any change in light or flow?
Assure CA has not become low and that alk-phosphate and nitrate has not become elevated

Well my all apparently rose by 1dkh it was on a dosing schedule and it somehow must have lowered its consumption rate as it has been dead on for a month and a half now and hasn't changed not even 1 ppm now it's off by a whole 15 ppm wonder why the consumption rate would change for the lower end I would think it would consume more instead of less

Alk affected by calcium and temperatures and even light. I thought it was odd and had to be a change like this. I try to test manually against Doser and trident occasionally to assure its on track

Everything in that photo - bare rock, bare glass - screams newish or heavily underfed tank. The coral looks stressed. Thin tissue, light colors, etc.

What are your actual parameters?
