So it started with the torch lost a few heads it's not BJD and we'll all looked ok FF 5 days and now all my SPS and my LPS are all dying. I lost a bunch of frags already and the frogspawn looks like it's ready to lose its heads my hammers all receded SPS is all dull or white but, the fish are fine. I did a 20g water change last night which is 20% and ready for another 20% tomorrow. I was about to set up a DT and see what would be saved but worried new water with nothing in it may cause more issues. It seemed I slowed the decline a little but, still not looking good. Other than esv salt I did about 20g in 2 weeks nothing new. I went back to my old salt for the water change and will use it for tomorrow's anyone have any advice ?

Something fall in the tank (kids)? Anyone clean around it? Check for stay voltage? What test kits are you using? If everything is really zero they could be starving.

Metals..?..

Do a $50 triton test, you basically send your water to Germany & they use high end machinery to test..

In the mean time get yourself some poly filter & use it!
