Any ideas?

So my 35 gallon system has been doing well after finally getting my alk and ca in check and doser working well. But as of yesterday evening things gave gotten weird.

I came home around 7 and found most of my SPS to be retracted, with occasional polyps still out. My LPS and zoas were still ok, so I thought maybe my goby had kicked up a bunch of sand and iritated them, so I gave it the night.

As of this morning, the problem still remained. I tested my parameters:
Salinity: 1.026
Temp 77.2-78
pH 7.88-8
Ca 460
Alk 8
Mg 1460
No3 - 0

I did a 20% WC and everything still looks annoyed.

Is there something else I should be doing or looking at?

Filter sock changed yesterday (brand new sock rinsed and cleaned with RO)
GFO changed last week
Skimmer producing light skimmate
ATO water at 0 TDS
Lighting schedule unchanged on AI hydra
Flow unchanged on MP10
