Why cant I keep favias and

If I saw feeders at night I would use a baster with mysis feast, ROE, or reef roids. After a few months most LPS would show a feeding response during the day when my wife would feed the fish. Heres a few pics for you

Those look great. My alk was higher becouse I just turned it up to keep in line with the calcium I had them dosing unequal becouse cal was low and all was hi so dosed them in equal parts but it shot up so have since lowered alk and kept cal same. Did a 15 gallon water change today boy I do not miss doing that I have always used aqua forest reef salt for the last few years since it came out it's really fine and mixed very fast
 
Also my doser does alk and cal same time over 24 hours would I be better off having it set up to do cal first 12 hours then all next 12 hours over night
 
Not sure on the doser. Always manually dosed. Our tanks alkalinity consumption was far greater rha calcium so equal parts dosing never happened. Tested alkalinity twice daily and calcium every other day to keep things stable.
 
And here is the bad I did low range first came out same color then did high range came out same color so nitrates are threw the roof high range goes to 14.55. So I have 15 more gallons of salt water being changed tomorrow any suggestions on how to keep nitrates low I was looking into a cheato reactor as well
