No pe on acros

Guys,

I have about 10 acros that none show polyps , I have 8 montis that show half polyps and put a stylo frag in today that is all polyps straight sway

My last icp showed high barium (110, limit 10) and slight high silicates (300 , should be max 200)

Other than this my doc analysis showed total organics high .

Since that I’ve done water changes that total 65% volume of nsw

Params are
Params now are

Temp 26
Salinity 1.026
Ph 8.2
Kh 7
Calcium 400
Mag 1275
Phosphate 0.05
Nitrates 6.5
Orp 350

Lighting is minimum 350 par and max 450 , flow is 70-80 x volume with no direct flow , I can baste my rocks and nothing comes away

Filtration is skimmer , filter wool , carbon ( changed 2 weeks), dsb with caluerpa that’s not grown for last 2 weeks because there was some cyano which has now gone due to reduced photoperiod

I feed mysis, nori and 2 types of phyto

What am I doing wrong ? Anything I can try like reducing the light to see if the polyps reach out? I don’t know what I can do

Head 8 will be Red Sea ab+ once I’ve dialed in my lanthium chloride
 
Seems new additions are ok
Probably the ones that’s been in with various swings are just a bit stressed still
