Also it's been a couple of weeks since I've done a water change . I've been doing 5 gallons . I used to do 8 gallons . I have a 60 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump . Y'all think i should do a large water change ?

A large water change will not bring the alk back up that much
Keep with 10 percent weekly that way you don't alter other parameters that quickly.
It's rapid change that affects coral more then a high or really low level.

How long will it take for the frogspawn to come back once my parameters are correct . I've been slowly raising my alk . It's now at 7.5 Dkh . I'm just wondering because it still looks bad . Not bad to where it's dieing . It's just staying shriveled up . It's extending in and out . The tips are just not full like they used to be . It's a big frogspawn so that's the reason I'm so worried about it . Everything else in my tank seems to be very happy . I'm gonna start dosing soon .

That sounds like a flow issue. Frogspawn do not like a lot of flow nor do they like direct flow
Also you might want to feed it some reef roids

Also, also what is the exact phosphate reading.. It should be less than .03
