Thank goodness! Between the algea and the coral issues I have had enough troubles...
Do you guys think the salinity fluctuating could be causing the coral issues? It would go from 1.25 to sometimes 1.30 before I would realize I needed to top off the sump.

It can. Rapid drop in salinity due to o top offs can be hard on corals.

It can. Rapid drop in salinity due to o top offs can be hard on corals.

Totally agree.
Salinity, temperature in my opinion should always remain the same.
Small changes ok but not big swings.
