My tank was doing very well before the API filter. Crazy amounts of growth. Only thing I've changed up was the water source. If I change 50% of the water will it shock anything? I always match my water up before using it. I don't want to go digging in the sand to find the nassatius snails, but I will if I have to. On a side note my hammer coral and soft corals look great

Phosphate! 50% won't shock anything as long as the parameters are close (if not spot on). I have seen an european reefer changing 95% water during maintenance for years
All you need to do now is bring down the phosphate and check whether it rises. If such happens, you got something leaching in the tank. Instead of worrying about anything, just do a water change: it is always the cure for almost anything
