I think testing for phosphates should be your first step. There's a few reasons SPS brown. Ultimately, it's excess zooxanthele in the coral. High phosphates and light spectrum can both impact this.
thats the next thing on my agenda, check for po4. my lfs has a test for it buy i think it may be an api. i've tested zero for nitrate via API test kit, wouldn't that mean my po4 would be low or zero as well?
