Water changes and might want to monitor that reactor a little more closely.

Are you also supplementing?

Water Changes done weekly 15 percent
All parameters are right on the mark
I have been told by a sixteen year reefer to shut the Co/2 off
It has droped from 580 to 540 in 4 days
No supplements added

Check the tank pH and the Alk level. I bet your Alk is low.
