Any idea why????

Alk 8.7
Mag 1350
Cal 450
Nitrate 16
Phosphate .17
Temp 77
Salinity 1.025
par at around 80

I am suspecting alk is a bit too high? Mag was low and I slowly brought it up from 1240 to 1350 in a 5 days.

candy cane is slowly dying from the center couple heads at a time. Trachy is not doing so hot either. The rest are so far so good.

Tank is about

I don't think your alklinity is too high. I don't see anything wrong with any of your other numbers either. If you ahven't done a water change recently I'd start doing about 10% a week fo r amonth or so and run GFO or Boyd's chemipure.
