Salinity is a bit low. I keep mine at 1.026. Alk is also high but that could be your preference? What lights are you using and how much photo period? Do you know how much PAR it gets?

Lastly, mine does that every night. Then opens during day. So unless it stays closed for a long period/several days I wouldn’t worry
