Hollywood Stunner edges turning white

(3) frags in tank 45 days, one up high, one mid and one down low. All turning white around edges.

125g mixed reef
kessil 360's and T5 controlled by APEX
yesterday I started slowly dosing, calcium, alk, mag. (they were all slightly low)
Also added Brightwell amino acid

Ph 8.1
80*
Salinity 1.024
Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate all 0
Phosphate really high (1ppm) I did a 20g WC 2 days ago before I noticed edges

Anything sound like the cause and when they start turning white, is that a death sentence? should I frag off the white part?

Thanks in advance
 
Oh crap, guess I forgot those

400
7.3
1170

brought them up to

420
8.2
1290 (will add more)

and started adding Kalk

I only noticed the white edges after adding the supplements but wouldn't expect such a fast change. The stunner did seem a little softer or fragile when I moved it recently and I thought maybe it needed calcium

When I had low magnesium and calcium I was having issues with LPS left and right.

When you say white, is it losing tissue or white around the perimeter for a few millimeters? The latter is growth and HS grows incredibly fast.
 
Sadly, no it's dying inwards from the outside rim. Getting thinner and whiter. Three different, 3" frags in different areas of the tank. I think I might have too much light even though I acclimated everything. (3) Kessil 360's 12 hr/day + I added 4 54 watt T5's 3 hrs/day to supplement. Just lowered to 1 1/2 hrs midday. Any thoughts?
 
I have had two evergrow leds on my tank, everything was doing great, put 4 54w T5, actinics, because i wanted more blue color, two days later several SPS started to turn white on the edegs especially my monti. i would say to much light
