I have check my lighting and I did the specs to the BRS SpecsI really don't know what to do I am dosing in a 24 hour. At those very small amount every hour

That is odd. Is it one colony or several throughout the tank?
Does your flow change in the day?

Lighting. Try lowering the intensity a bit and see if that helps

Depends, if it‘s a mixed tank with sps/lps just leave it, the zoa‘s will adapt.
