Your salt content should be somewhere around 1.025... 1.032 is too high and could be causing some coral problems. 50 isnt really all that bad for trates. I mean we preach about it being as close to zero as possible but i dont believe 50 would cause too many problems

Right on. I thought the corals were having more of a specific gravity issue than a nitrate issue. 1.025 is FAR safer. I'd freak out if I ever saw 1.030!

Bring it down slowly over a couple of days. Take out about one gallon of tank water in the morning and add back a gallon of RO. Again at night and so on until you read 1.025-1.026.
