Had my first tank crash. All my corals are dead/getting there with an exception of a few. No clue what happened. Alk swing is what I thought. Black friday I bought some acans and a sky blue hammer. As soon as I put two of the acans in they started retracting/dying. I got some snails, and thats when everything went to hell. I had total polyp bailout of my 7 headed frogspawn. Had it over 1.5 years. Then it moved to all my other euphyllia despite very regular multiple times a week wc's. Now it's moved to my huge acans. I'm depressed not knowing what it is. I did go today and bought a new salt. Nothing I do seems to be working. Ammonia is 0, nitrate was 40 before wc today. Alk was 8.3 and cal was 430. Salinity I hadn't topped off today when I was testing was 1.027. The only thing I couldn't get an accurate reading on was mag. I did a 50% wc today. All fish are fine. I'm so upset. This tank was my passion and somehow I've failed. I just bought a 75 gal and have zero desire to carry on with the hobby. How did you get back into it after your tank horror stories? Also tips on salvaging what is left since Everything seems to be going to crap. My zoas, favias, toadstool aren't affected yet, so that is good.
