LPS looks like crud

Hey everyone.
That subject line isn't totally accurate. My duncans are alright. But two weeks ago, my candy canes, blastos, and euphyllia started receding. In addition a specific candy cane of mine has been melting. The symptoms haven't gotten worse but they've not improved much. SPS and zoas have been doing exceedingly well lately.

A few of my leathers also got halfway to the point of death but recovered. I don't know if this was related.

I'll attach some photos.

The only thing that has recently changed is my flow. I have two jebao wavemakers (rw-15, pulsing 90-3400gph) in my 125 gallon.
salinity 1.026 (refractometer)
temp 80
no3 undetectable (API)
po4 0.25 (API)
alk 9 (API)
Ca 400 (API)

I made two adjustments. One, I dumped alot of food in three days straight, one week ago. Been feeding a bit more daily too. Phosphate and nitrate hadn't budged, but everything in the tank is looking better. I'm more than willing to let my two algae patches grow if it pleases the tank.
FYI, for anyone interested, I don't skim, just the occasional carbon and gfo in a blue moon.
Two, I moved some lps away from flow and the others just adjusted. I had no idea increasing flow by a small amount would create such a dire looking scene.
