Nitrates are at around 30ppm and phosphates is 0ppm

Add carbon if your not already using it. Rox .8 Water change to get nitrates below 10. Going to have to dose phosphates. Np- bacto-balance by tropic marin adds both in desired ratio. You may still need to bump phosphates up alone though. Hows your skimmer collecting? Running uv? Not necessary just asking.

Yo big water change asap and check flow! Algae loves low flow and high nitrates. Also run carbon and maybe add some cleanup crew if you can in your

Do a 15% water change and test your big 3 as well. Retracted corals usually means there's a swing in your big 3. For algae, if and only if it's not a dinoflagellatae, add some cleanup crews since they'll do even better than ourselves. I highly recommend a turbo snail and some nassarius snail.
