I did regularly test and everytime I did, levels were in check. So I admit I did slack off on the testing for a while.

Would a sudden decrease in phosphate lower alk? Or chemi clean in the system too long? Do u guys add anything to your top off water? Can't think of anything else that would have caused this.

Got levels back in check now and corals are looking good.

can you have someone else double check your alkalinity? 0 sounds unlikely.

Maybe I read it wrong those color charts are so hard to read... Hmm I did test twice though because I was like it can't be! The first time but got the same reading again.
