I can’t see the underside of the tank. Maybe I’ll move some sand around
no don't do that,look for streaks ,where water may have dripped in ,if not,just clean area,then clean again 20 min later ,then watch from there ;)

No thanks. I feed light anyways. Usually do 1/4 of a thing of mysis or a bunch of pellets. I’ll double it and see how it goes
If all else fails, a little nitrate dosing is easy. Especially on a small tank. The math to figure it out is easy and a small bag of sodium nitrate will go a long way. Basically dose enough of your stock solution to get some color on the test. Most corals need a little and when it is 0 it makes it hard for good bacteria and all those little critters like micro fauna to survive. Then you end up with Dinos. Dinos suck lol.
