You have a high swing. .3 on a swing is normal. You need to keep getting fresh air into the house. Are you running an algae scrubber?

No algae scrubber no space under these Red Sea sumps not sure what to do

I ran a skimmer, scrubber and reactor in the sump chamber of my 425xl.... you have space

Skimmer is huge scrubber I had it outside of the tank leaning more towards Fuge what a good light for it not trying to break the bank

Always gotta spend if you want quality. Kessils are good. I have a freshwater Radion (If I remember your old posts you are a Radion fan) but that might be a budget overkill. But at least they keep their value.

Crappy fudge lights might be cheap, but resale value is absolute garbage. Almost have to give them away and pay for shipping.
