Good insights.  I don't think I'm sweating into the tank, and no lotion.  I'll check my favorite soap I use before putting my hands into the tank.

All glass tank, no metal framing.  Aluminum 8020 bar holds lights over the tank...  So It's time for a hunt in the equipment room.  Zinc COULD be from galvanized screws I've used to build the equipment stands/etc.  I'll go looking for an older one, corroding, without pain on it, and dripping into the sump.

You find it yet? Just wondering in case I run into problems later

One more question - Have you sent your water out to be tested, for the broader spectrum stuff?  

I sent mine out last month via Eli's Oceamo test service.   Got it back last Monday, with a couple of surprises.

1. Completely out of Iodine (Zero, Nada)
2. Low on Manganese and Molybdenum
3. High on Zinc  (maybe something leaching)

I appreciate how clear it read, and the extra interpretation comments written at the end.  (not pasted) Might be worth it, looking for pollutants.  (there are other testing services out there too)

Zinc could be from a lotion, deodorant,shampoo if your sweating into the tank it could be those. Low Iodine wow,lol I randomly hand dose Iodine in my system glad I do now. Also check if you have metal framing for hood/lights that might be flaking into the tank? Idk just some thoughts. Hope it helps,also sunscreen has zinc

C02 setup is gone. Reactor is available $150 obo. Open to trades.

I have a chiller im considering selling but holding on to it for now because these heat waves, but I've been using fans and they've been working great and making my heaters kick on so I'd try some fans if I were you. Do away with a heater if you have one. Chillers are pretty expensive, maybe you should consider getting a portable AC its cheaper,or upgrading AC unit if its not keeping up. Hope this helps. 

I would give it a try,or just get a pods eater,it is a rare occasion but I mean your tank looks super clean, parameters look solid and a old tank I would think it would have tons and tons of pods and if they are starving they could feed on stuff thats not dead yet. You can also do night spotting with a flashlight with some test corals and see if they are chomping on them.

Just a question, do you have any pod eaters? I've heard of pods going crazy on corals if you dont feed often and have a huge population of them 🤷‍♂️ sounds crazy but anything is possible. Alot of chat about it on reef2reef.
