My corals are dying. Help

[AquariumDani]

I recently moved my tank, and I want to say - my corals grew a lot on similar conditions, but now everything seems to be dying off.
Currently my paras are:
alk - 10.4dkh
ca - 450ppm
ammonia - 0
nitrite - .2
mg - 1440
nitrate - 20ppm

Here are some photos. What should I be doing to help them? How do I change the paras and what do I need to add??

I also have this white fuzz on my blasto - ideas on what it is? I had done a peroxide dip on it before to get rid of it, but it came back faster and a lot more - I also am unsure if I should peroxide dip because of the condition the coral is in. My zoas and palys are doing great btw, one has two new heads as of this week.

How recently was this "move"?

Corals hate being disturbed by moving them. Stresses them out.

Best if you leave any further movement alone. I have some zoas that take 2 weeks to open back up if I move them to a different spot in the tank.

Personally what I do is crazy water changes.. like on my 120 if I think something is crazy going on I do like a 20 gallon water change everyday till I see them bounce back. Your lps corals should give u a pretty good idea when your tank is happy again. They will open up and b looking for some food. But water changes... Water changes... Water changes. What size tank do u have

I have a 20 gallon tank. I just did a water change on Saturday.

Do you have water perimeter records before move and any different from now? My need to leave them alone, wait and see

What’s your phosphate ?

You’re mag is super low. Get it back up to 1350, also dose a little calcium, your alk is to high for 400 calcium.

Yah like I said every day still it's right especially since your tank is smaller the cost of salt is so inexpensive compared to your coral. 10 gallon water changes for 3 days straight. Make sure it's rodi water to.

How would one do this?

 

[ZoWhat]

We need to know more DETAIL on this move....

Moved within the house?
Moved across the city?
Moved via a long car trip?

Too many open questions until you provide exactly what you did during this move

Moved 60 miles away, about a 1 hour and 10 min trip

I do not

.....and?

How did you prep and move the corals? How did you reacclimate them?

Your problem lies with this move and WITHOUT details, everyone is throwing darts in a pitch black room

I had put all the corals in individual bags, came home and put them in containers once my tank was ready, and then put the tank water into the containers every 10 min. Put the coral in the tank. I did have the lights on when I placed the coral back in the tank.

 

[ZoWhat]

How long were the corals in a bag?

What was the air temperature around them?

Where they sloshing around in these bags on every bump and turn of the car? Or tightly packed with good cushion?

My guess is smthg caused the corals not to travel well.

You're just gonna have to wait it out and see if time will heal them

One thing you could do.....but it's high radical.

Buy the smallest bottle of Lugols Iodine you can find.

Take an 8oz cup of tank water and drop ONLY 1 drop of Lugols Iodine in the 8oz cup. Mix well.

Then take a single tablespoon of that Iodine mix and put BACK in you 20gal tank.

The rest of the 8oz Iodine cup THROW AWAY....flush down the toilet

That tiny bit of iodine will help heal LPS tissue.

But be warned iodine is WICKED stuff. It's on you to use this method.
