Looks like I have my big tank cleared up but now my 200 gallon tank I have fish dying almost every day, no signs of fluke or Ick, they are not rubbing against the rocks.
Should I do a 30 day of copper treatment, please someone give me an insight to it, usually I can't tell not this time. Thanks ahead for your input!!! They all appear to look even when their dead.

Please post a video using bright white light intensity
Did you notice if fish were breathing normal or labored. Additionally you often cannot see flukes visually but some signs will be elevated breathing rate, yawning effect, sudden darting and loss of appetite.
Any inverts in the tank and how are they doing as well as any coral?

I’m so sorry to hear, you are sure having more than your fair share of issues!

My question since everyone giving me about video it there's nothing visible really, my question if you can answer since your advice been always perfect should I use copper power for 30 days in tank, I have a couple now not eating and just staying in one spot. It's not ick for sure the fish are clean as can be. I appreciate any advice, I figure it would eliminate:
    • Marine Velvet (Amyloodinium ocellatum)
    • External Fungal Infections (certain forms)
    • Suppresses other organisms like flukes and Brooklynella
    The Angel passed away once I put it back in the tank that now Im having problems with. Thanking you ahead for your time in this matter. Carl

If the fish aren’t breathing fast, you can rule out velvet. Since the fish don’t have ich spots, you can rule that out. Those are the two diseases that copper treats.

Fungal issues in marine fish are very rare - and those show a brown fuzzy lesion.

I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what else is left. I once had a 300 gallon system of temperate marine fish that I slowly lost over 6 months. Even histopathology didn’t show what the issue was. We ended up just leaving the remaining fish in the tank until the mortality stopped, the few fish that remained recovered. The only thing this could have been was a virus…..
 
Like suggested by @vetteguy53081, some video may add some context to your situation.

Your “nothing really visible” and others may in fact be different.

Are you sure your substrate is not leaching any heavy metals into your water? Some substrates can do that. Easy to rule out. Just run a poly filter for heavy metals to see picks anything up.

If decide to post video, you may get some more feedback.
