What should I tackle first?

Raising PH. Right now it sits at approximately 7.8. The tank is in a basement without easy access to outside air so I was thinking about putting a CO2 scrubber in.

Raising Alk. Alkalinity is pretty stable at 7.6-7.7. I have A4R but I'm not able to consistently manually dose so I'd want to manually dose it.

Raising Nitrate/Phosphate. These are consistently at 0.

Alk and ph are not a real threat to the tanks health. Both are at acceptable levels. Phis and trate are not. Ide start there.

Just noticed these two white spots on the foxface. Doesn't seem like ichc wondering if anyone has any idea what it could be?

Started dosing NeoNitro and NeoPhos a few days ago. Got my phosphates to 0.06 and nitrates to 0.5. I'm going to continue dosing NeoNitro and see how my phosphates fluctuate over the next few days.

Edit: Tested again (2024-04-10) and we're at 5.8 nitrates and 0.04 phosphates. Definitely seeing more algae on the walls, excited to see if there's any noticeable impact to the corals.
