Are you guys housing any Acroporas. I can give you a list of everything I have and let me know what you want me to frag out for you.
Trident idle charts, can you blow them up with scale… I want to see the swing range and times.

your icp ms is perfect (iodine could be dosed, but that’s not killing corals)
can you post icp ms?

Red Sea B is carbonate based (sodium carbonate). I would not use this unless you wanted to commit to 2 part.
your using...
I meant what two part are you dosing on top of kalk. Kalk i calcium hydroxide (CaOH). Many 2 parts are bicarbonate (HCO).
from 8 to 7.7 is not horrible 7.8 would be more ideal. Are your corals fine?
In response to the calcium question, water change with instant ocean normal salt (8-9 dkh, 400-450 calcium, 1350 - 1400 mg).
which Alk are you dosing?
what is your mg at?
in response to pH, you say it’s low at night (7.7 is low) what is the daytime pH? How much turnover in your aquarium? What...
I would list out your numbers

Also, give us some details on lighting, how long system has been set up, and flow.
I know this seems like a big ask, but based on what you wrote, we need more info to narrow down the...
