what kind of light do you have?
Ca level ?
Mg level ?
Kh level ?

Lights are 2 sb reef lights. I test with a red sea test kit. Only levels i tested are one previously posted.

You posted only KH=4
If you are not testing Ca and Mg, why you are surprised that corals are dying?

True enough. That all is crazy low.

I'll test again. I likely read it wrong.

That is what I was saying in post #22 - Kh and salinity both seem off to me and this has less to do with the NO3 issue.

I assumed salinity was a typo. Nothing could survive in 0.23. It is probably a little of everything combined. He does need to test for cal and mag. If his salinity is truly off, then that would account for the low alk and with that the cal and mag would be crazy low as well.

I was thinking it was a screen shot of his values from some monitoring device...let's hope it's a typo or that explains it all...

Its a screen shot off my phone salinity was a typo. Ill test again. I dont have test kit for calcium. I use Kent marine salt. That may also be a factor
