What's your magnesium at do ya know?

 

i dont even own a test kit lol would take me 2 -3 weeks to learn

 

High on both IMO

 

lmao i tested my calcium to be at 580 a couple weeks ago, havnt been dosing or supplementing since so it can go down a wee bit lol!

 

I would think that if you tested 580 for calcium that the test was not accurate. Because if it were your tank would look like a snow storm from the calcium pracipitating into the water column.

 

whats your phosphates at high phosphates will cause corals to lose color

 

Here's an article by Randy Holmes-Farley that you should get you back on track

I'm curious, have dosed any CA, Alk or Mag?

 

Rockin, it looks like everything you listed, cal mag and alk, is running in the high range, mostly your alk. that along with your ph running in the low range. They may not be dangerously off but the combination of everything being out of whack has a good chance of being the issue.

Just my oppinion.

I would stop dosing anything for a week outside of adding some reefbuilders to my top off water. retest and see where you are at. If things begin to look a little more on track i would then begin to test too see how much of what is being consumed daily and dose accordingly, or use a kalk stirrer

You also said you are using baked baking soda. I know I have said this before and others have great success using it , but things like that could have impurities in them that you are introducing to your tank.

 

thats wierd, I use reefcrystals and ive never had it go over 9
