We are down to an orange acan. I don’t know what we are doing wrong? Water parameters are good, we do water changes etc. like we have learned to do. Maybe we should go back to coin collecting?

I'm sorry you are having issues with your coral. Tank specs, parameters, equipment, inhabitants and maintenance schedule would really help us to determine what's wrong.
Water parameters;Ph 8.4,Ca 440,dkh 9,temp 79, am 0, Nitrates 0, Ph <.25,nItrites 0 etc. 36” acrlyic 50 gal. Maxspec RSX led 150,hydor 350,skimmer,Reactor. Agamai kpm and a icecap I k gurr
With nitrates and nitrites of 0, I wonder if your tank isn't to clean. I use a Maxspect razer x 200 fixture, what is your lighting setting and schedule? What type of corals did you have and want? I have LPS and started adding SPS. Hang in their, that's what this forum is for, help each other out and to figure out problems, we got your back, let us help.
What type frags did you have in the tank?
What type frags did you have in the tank?
We are here to help and learn, trust me when I say I also am a newbie, we newbies need to stick together, LOL! Don't give up on a reef tank, when you finally get what you want it will most definitely be worth it.Hammer, Orange Acan (he is doing great) , Candy cane, Capt. America and a very small zoa frag from Tidal Gardens Never again from them. We got our acan from lfs and doing great. Thanks for your help we are still newbies
Hammers don't like a lot of flow, something else to think of.
As far as? You can look at my build thread to see what I have as far as equipment, the only thing I think I didn't list was my pumps which are Innovative Marine DC pumps so I can vary the speed of the pumps, I have one pulsing with the max gph at 2000 and the other at 1000 gph. I keep acans, favias, platys, torches and hammers, chalices, and now sps with that lighting schedule. my parameters are 0 nitrate, 10 nitrite, .02 phosphate, 8.5 alk, 1400 mag, 1480 calWe are going to our lfs Wednesday, what would you recommend?
As far as?
My parameters are above, trying to raise phosphate as I was staying at 0, but I mainly started with acans and found them to be forgiving, blastos I found to be a little finicky, I had one blasto that would open up I thought until I moved it last week to its permanent spot and I was wrong, now it opens up to new limits, lol, go figure. All those are good choices. Do u acclimate and dip your frags, if not you should to keep pests out of your DT. Good Luck and start a build thread so we can watch as it comes together.
