Hello,

Been running my Redsea tank for about just under 2 years and within the last 2 months I have been having a ton of problems with All, Cal, Nitrate, and PH. It's a 55 Gallon display with a 15 gallon sump. I have 8 fish in there and all LPS Coral. My Frogs and Hammers are closing up and dying. Not sure why all of sudden the crazy swings. I was dosing All for Reef and things seemed to be stable. I recently got an Aqua Forest all in Skim Protein skimmer and CO2 scrubber but that seems to not really be helping a lot. Any suggestions on how to level out the tank and keeps things stable?
 
Can you describe in detail what the problems are exactly? Include all tested parameters and how much they swing over time if possible, if you’ve done a recent ICP include that. Pictures of the corals in question might help too
