Are you dosing iodine ?

This might help, unless you are already using this , then if overdosed do 2 water changes per week to stabilize water chemistry.
PH is a big factor too, just check what you can all the basics first.
Don’t be scared if test showing something odd, a lot of times tests are wrong (too old, wrong storage or simply inaccurate).
So basically water change is your best friend.

Guessing is the worst unless you can judge by the corals.
Water change is way to go and if you think that everything else is good, then yes start dosing as per manufactures manual, overdosing is worse then under dosing so start slow.
