I have run a Triton test and all parameters are within normal parameters, nothing obviously wrong. My tank is 600L and 2 years old and I’ve been doing this hobby for more than a decade now so I know the basics lol.
The last few months I have had the occasional coral completely strip from the base up within 48 hours.
My temp swings from 25.5C to 26.0C at the most. My alkalinity is controlled by the KH Director from GHL And swings from 8.5 to 8.0 occasionally. Sometimes my pH is 8.4 however but not often. Usually around 8.3.
Sometimes my skimmer will over skim and then the top off will add too much fresh water. Occasionally the Salt gravity will drop from 1.026 to 1.025 or maybe 1.024 over 24 hours.
These are the only things I think could cause it.
My NO4 is 5-10ppm. My PO4 is 0.1 on average and swings up to 0.15 and down to 0.05 at times.
calcium is 430 and mag is 1440.
What’s the most likely cause here?
