Pics would be more helpful. Your po4 is 0.30??? Or 0.03?Is the tissue dying at the tips, and algae is building up on it? Do you have pics of what’s affected?

I’m just not a believer that high po4 causes any damage to sps. There are a lot of beautiful tanks with what is considered sky high po4. Look at @jd-woodlands thread. His growth and colors are awesome and his po4 measured 0.45Might be the issue if 0.30

I’ve recently cranked up my food input to get po4 above 0.10 and my growth has exploded. And then every other thread in this forum have “stable ideal parameters” with struggling sps.
I’m really liking 0.10-0.20. I haven’t checked no3 in weeks but it usually stays around 2.5-5. I’ve never fed more than once a day though. I’ve just increased the amount.I’ve had NO3 at 100+ and PO4 at 3.0 [emoji87][emoji85]. THAT definitely killed stuff. Lol
Yeah I’ve seen his thread, good stuff. Each tank is different, and some that run ULNS do great, some don’t.
I bet a lot of people who feed “a lot” really aren’t. I think I feed a lot, but in reality it may not even be enough. I’m gonna crank up the food some more too.

Is there a way to micro and bacterial without more live rock
Your nutrients are way too low for 8.9 alk. I bet it drifts even higher after you dose. Your alk should not be any higher than 7.8-8 when your nutrients are that low.
^ you seem to be chasing numbers vs trusting the eye test. Many a successful tank have more than negligible nutrients. This seems to correlate to your nopox treatment.
I chase a stable alkIf you’re talking about @Chaswood79, Chaswood doesn’t chase numbers, that’s for sure.
