If youre running ROX, I believe it contains ferrous oxide which is powerful and not needed in a newer tank. Additionally, you are likely going through chemical swings with a newer tank and need to pull back and focus on chemistry and water quality than coral right now.

hey it has been a wail. I was reading through the issues you have. Sorry you are dealing with the issue still. I have a question about how the lps die. What do they look like when they die. Do they bleach or have recession. This could help solve the issue you are having. If you could post pictures and the peramiters of the tank so we can get a understanding of the time line this is happening and have a visual might be rely helpful.
