It's the PO4. It's too low.

If measured by Hanna, it's probably 0, since Hanna cannot really measure correctly that low.

Go to the grocery store and add a clam to the tank, and measure again in a few days.

Your PO4 should have gone up by then.

Agree with the PO4.
Also, your lights are not strong enough in my opinion. In your pictures, the zoas are stretching and so are the clove polyps. This is an indication of insufficient light.
At 72 watts, you are on the low end of the requirements. For a 100liter tank, the bare minimum is 0.5w per liter, or 50w, and that’s to keep low light corals alive, not thriving, just alive. think mushrooms, blastos, etc.

A longer discussion to explain the relationship of nutrients and algae growth, but in essence, algae die last in your tank.

So you want to get it to an acceptable level for your corals first, which 0.01 is NOT.
