I have no idea what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to keep any coral alive or get any of them to grow because of it. Its getting frustrating as I'm losing a lot of money just trying. My parameters are all good, as far as I know.
PH 8
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Phosphate 0

I have a 180 with 3 giesmann vervee lights. Flow is probably around 3k-4k per hour. I have killed so many different corals that none seem to stick around. My latest corals on the verge of death is a pom pom and favia. I had a zoa frag doing okay and starting to spread but than it started to melt and now it never opens up and just looks bad.
The pom pom was staying alive, far from thriving, it wouldn't spread but was staying the same. Now its starting to stay consistently closed. I added the favias 2 days ago, and placed at the bottom of the tank near the 2 front corners, one at each corner on the sand bed. They looked good when I bought them, but now they are starting to turn brown/grey on some of the ridges along the "eyes". I also got a candy cane that was green and placed it near the bottom of the tank on a piece of LR and it is now turning a greyish color also.
What am I doing wrong?!?! Please help me fix this so I can have corals start growing in, meaning they are staying alive and thriving....
