My tank is 10 months old, low-medium SPS load, at some point I used to have about 15ml a day consumption of B-ionic two part, but one day I've noticed some STN and my Alk tested at a little oved 10dkh, from usual 8.2dkh... Something has caused to slow down Alk consumption and Alk spike. I have been doing some aggressive water changes to stabilize the chemical balance. Testing Ca and Alk daily, I noticed that almost nothing being consumed... At this point I have stopped any dosing. Most of my SPSs growth is on pause, except for my red and purple monti-caps. Just for information, my PO4 is near undetectable with recently purchased Salifert kit. Any ideas?

I'm not sure why growth has slowed. Maybe the bulbs have gotten older or the feeding has changed?
