Came home n found my coral banded shrimp dead!!! Man this is so whack. I'll try to do a lot of water changes

Maybe try testing you water with a buddies set of test kits, or take a few cups to a LFS. Make sure they are getting the same results.

Finally seeing some long hair algae die n peel off my rocks. Also manually pulled out a ton during yesterday's WC. Hopefully my tank an bounce back. Going to do another WC tmr

How long should I leave my doser off for? I'm leaving to vacation in a few days for a week so dunno if I should leave it off till I come back. Going jamaica. Hope to see amazing coral reefs there to take my mind off my ****ty tank.

Leave it off until you fix the tank and have things growing again.

Just got back from my short vacation and my tank doesn't look like it has anymore deaths. Some zoas are starting to open up a bit but not all the way. Doser been off for a week and a half nd my kh and ca still stable but mag is kinda low at 1250. Did a water change changed out my carbon but left my rowaphos alone. Should I turn my dower back on yet or wait?
