Do any of you Red Sea Foundation users notice the Calcium having a brown-ish look to it?? Could this be an issue for the tank?

It's likely just some sort of contaminent. I've seen this in their calcium powder when mixed. As to if it is harmful I have no clue as I don't know the exact contaminant but it likely isn't something to be seriously concerned with unless you did no water changes.

I’ve been fighting low nutrients issues so I haven’t been doing water changes to get them to increase.


These things would probably take a long time to build up and may not even be harmful (such as iron).
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
