Milli's are a tough one that I could not conquer. A few things I see though....
Your swing arm should be mildly accurate at best and repulsive at worst. If you are going cheap (like me), get the floating glass kind and compare it to a hydrometer because they can be off too, but once you know by how much you should be safe. Whereas w/ the swing arm your results will vary with every testing.
What brand of test kits are you using?
There really is so much you can do w/ PC bulbs. IIRC millies are more light loving than most too. Your photo period is a bit short IMO
No skimmer?
Which kent products?
Fuel is vitamins and such but should be used in conjunction with actual food. Try cyclops or micro coral food.
Also, you will need to know what Mag is. It should stay pretty consistent so have an LFS test it for you so you have an idea.
Are you 2- parting or kalk dripping?
What is your PH?
Last but not least, Flow is really important. SPS not only like it, but it causes the skeleton to grow thicker vs. having weak, indirect flow and puny, weak skeleton.
