Alk / PH seems odd to me, this time off year closed houses with cold temps
PH seems to be an issue,my 2 cents.

This is one of the scariest things about an older tank..im going to assume with the age of the tank the colonies are rather large. Ive seen this happen to a few tanks over time and i can tell you it may b as simple as water flow. If all the params check out ok..i would look at flow first. Once the colonies get really large the whole dynamc of flow in the tank changes..
Ive seen tanks totally colapse as you are describing..but ive seen them come back from the brink also.
Move your power heads etc etc around..add more flow..prune your colonies. Think back to how the flow was set up in relation to the corals when they were smaller...remember what worked and try to emulate it.
I wish u the best of luck.
