Everything dying please help me

[Reef.Blue]

I have had so much coral die lately, all torches. About 50 percent of my torches have been doing polyp bailout and I’m not sure what’s happening. Not a flow problem because they have been fine for over a year. I dosed Cipro about a month ago and then everything was great after. Now it everything has been dying again. Parameters: 78 temp, 1.025 salinity, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 26 nitrate, 420 calcium, 1350 magnesium, 8.2 alk. I need a solution fast please help.

Have you done any large water changes in the event it’s contamination?

Do you have any full tank photos? What is your maintenance regimen? Weekly water changes? What does your phosphate test at? What issue did cipro resolve?

More information is needed. This sounds like a water quality or nutrient issue. Are there any visible pests on your corals?

Hopefully things will turn around with a bit more effort. :)

I had a hefty lps die off early in the year. Lost about 50% and could Id the problem. I’d think it was viral/bacterial issue but I never definitively found out. Sorry this isn’t helpful at all lol

I will get some tank photos tomorrow when the lights are on. Phosphate is 0.1. I maintenance the tank regularly doing weekly work to clean the sump. Bi-weekly water changes of 20%. I was dealing with brown jelly before on a lot of torches, but I’m not seeing that anymore. All of the torches are going through polyp bailout instead of getting brown jelly. No visible pests on the corals.

I haven’t done any very large water changes but I might need to do one now.

Do you have cipro? You could have a harmful bacteria in the waters.

You could try tank treatment with this also, I’ve had good results with it as a dip and as a tank treatment

I actually just picked some of that up.....I was having the same LPS issues. I thought LPS were supposed to be easy? I am going back to SPS lol.
