Wow, I had such a similar experience. I had a crash that I attributed to a bacterial bloom. Before the crash everything looked great except my GSP. Very curious!
I did end up getting a full blown bacterial bloom with cloudy water and lost 90% of acros. Now I'm post crash and after things were starting to look great things are getting iffy again. All my levels look great. My hammer is irritated and mostly closed but my zoas and palys look amazing, something strange for me because I've never had them thrive for me. I am noticing some burnt tips and maybe some base recession. I do notice the acros have a greyish lackluster look to them despite looking great a month ago. I did start prodibio 2 weeks ago in an attempt to stabilize my bacterial population given the recent history.
I do find it rather interesting that we shared a lot of the same symptoms down to the specific corals.
My alk is around 8.5 and I'm slowly bringing it down to 7.5. Nitrates are indetectible and phos ranges from 0.04-0.05. Not ULNS by any stretch but not a dirty tank either. No algae but some cyano and brown snot, maybe a not so terrible strain of Dino?
Anyway thought I would share my experience. Hope you are on the up and up.
