Getting about 500 par at the top....additionally i have 8 powers heads running (2) mp 60 one at each end (5) mp 40 along the back and (2) oscillating tunze 6105 one at each front corner of the tank parameters are...any help would be greatly appreciated

This alone is not what is causing all your troubles. Many times I've run out of gas and went from 8dkh to 6dkh.

Switched over to 2 part and it's been nothing but death.

Why the switch? How did you calculate the dose?

I have a 400 gallon system with (8) radion gen 6 running at 50 %. Getting about 500 par at the top.

Decrease this number for now. They ain't growing, they don't need that much now. It's only adding to the stress.

EDIT; additionally, your iodine is critically low.
Water changes?

Spot on! ^

My tank will fluctuate over 1dkh per day without issues.. I like to keep my acros guessing lol..

On my screen the first one looks like its green because of algae. In my tanks it takes quite a while for a dead acro to become covered in algae.

Switched because the calcium reactor does not work.......waiting for parts to arrive

Lower your light for a bit and perform a water change. Dose iodide. Good luck
