I have a 75g display with a 25g sump. The tank is around 18 months old at this point. For the past 6 months or so, I've been having a problem with spiking ammonia and nitrite as if the tank is starting a new cycle over and over. The problem seems to have started around the same time as a damsel went missing. I moved rocks and sand, completely cleaned the tank and sump top to bottom and even disassembled my plumbing and cleaned looking for the missing fish but to no avail. Could the one rotting fish be the cause of all these chemistry issues?

2 ocellaris clowns
1 watchman goby
1 lawnmower blenny
1 flameback angel
5-6 blue legged hermits
The fish all seem fine and the only indication that anything is wrong is corals don't seem to be doing well. I've lost all my zoas and i have a GSP hanging on by a thread. I use exclusively RO/DI water from a BRS system making sure water coming out is at 0 tdi. I'm testing with both API and Red Sea kits and getting matching results. I'm at my wits end here.
