HI There.

Your alk is a little low actually. Should be between 9-11.
Do you run a phosban reactor? And your water ro/di? Even though the test kits say 0 phosphate doesn't always mean 0 phosphate as the test kits can really not determine true phosphate.
And for the polyp extension what kind of fish do you have. Mabey a nipper amoung them?
