Do you have a skimmer HI,
MAny corals are very sensative to water quality, most seem to do better if the water stays clean, skimmer is very good at polishing the water of waste products , many toxic things can get in water,many water sources have copper from plumbing, trace metals in things in the water release into the water, bad sand, bad salt,
If your buying your water what are they storing it in, many of my water stores have copper plumbing, we use special plumbing plastic/pvc in the lab cause our RO is so pure it will dissolve most metals. Mine reads ph 6.5 -18 resistance, some petstores use membranes that can and will fail if not adequately purged adequately while running .

Our better LPS use huge nagalen tanks for water storage and pvc plumbing.
ps have you been using some type of kalkwasser for ca addition, it can spike the KH .
