My zoas were 100 percent open and vibrant with red color. This past weekend I have noticed that they look like crap. Not really open. Almost look sick. Can someone help me figure out how to recover from this

Test day: Saturday
Salinity 1.020 - I am slowly raising this
Phosphates .16
Nitrites 0
Pneumonia 0
Alkalinity 7.3
Nitrates.2
Calcium 375
Magnesium 1600 - using Red Sea testing kit and really having trouble reading it.
PH 8.2
Will be testing tomorrow.
Can anyone help me please
