Tank crash unknown reason

Well its not about one dead fish its about the second one about to die and all my corals with it 😂

Did the test twice to confirm the resault. Using Salifert test kit.

It is certainly going to die if you leave it like that. Are you dosing something or is that the whole story. Along for the ride to see. Will let the others advise. There is an answer
 
Placed him back in qt tank now hes in Gods hands. Never dosed anything chemical. Only phytoplankton. Im hoping i can find an answer so i dont make same mistake again. Its easy to start over again but i want to learn what i did wrong
 
Can you list all the corals you have? I see irritated unhappy corals but not necessarily dying. After watching your video, I suspect the LPS corals are getting way too much flow. My LPS don't like like a lot of flow, just enough to keep them free of Algae and Detritus. You pump really looks like it's blasting. As far as your Clowns go, I suspect you have a Pathogen/Parasite in your Tank. Can you post additional pics a videos on your Clown.

Unknown reason? Your reason was in your question. Tank wasnt ready and you put too much in at once. I struggle with sps too, only in the last year have i had any success with any and that was short term.
I knew it was almost impossible and i took the gamble but i didnt know that everything can die, i tought acros just gonna bleach and thats it...
 
You didn't list your parameters.
What test kit are you using?
What light or lights?
Removing a 'wave maker' from a SPS tank is not advisable. SPS require HIGH flow.
How fast was the drop in kH?
You partially answered your own question. At 2 1/2 months ( took off two weeks since you said it was 10 days ago), your tank is no where near stable. From the color of the rocks and sand, it is newer than "3 months".

Especially in young tanks, any swing can cascade quickly. The key is stability. Which is odd as the ocean isnt really stable at all... but its so big, its not a Rollercoaster either.

Yeah i was aware that stability is the key and i kew the smaller the tank the faster change is gonna happen, my kh ca and mg were on the sweet spot and i bought all for reef to be rady

Aqua forest for no3 and salifert for the rest, i removed one of them because i tought 2 made a big change and it was to much for such a small tank. My main issue is tjat i dont know what exactly happended because my paramaters are the dame as before expect KH thst dropped 0.8 in 5 to 6 days
 
So about 10 days ago i decided to test the theory that SPS need mature tank and i got some good deal on 6 sps corals, 3 acros one sthylo and one pocilo and one plateing monti. My tank is 3 months old and i had one cheap single speed wave maker, pair of clownfish, 4 snails, couple of moshrooms one frogspawn and one snall hammer frag. On the day i added sps i also changed my wave maker and i replaced it with 2 hygger minis. Moning after everything was closed up and stressed and i figured it to much flow for my 20g tank so i removed one. After 2 to 3 days my acros bleached and my clownfish were in sever shock, i places them in qt tank, one survived and one died, i alo removed all new corals only left stylo because it was the only thing in the tank that was doing good. Tank recovered and it was doing good for 4 days and yeaterday i again noticed all my corals closed up and my fish breathing rapidly. Temeprature was the same whole time, salinity was the same, kh was good at the time of the first charsh about 8.4 and now i noticed it dropped to 7.7. No stray voltage, did multiple 10% and one 35% water cnage in the meantime, added fresh activated carbon 10 days ago. Amonia is at 0. Only think is i dont know what is the PH and can that cause the chras. Check the video below and Please help

I'm sorry to read about your losses. I suggest you immediately administer a large concentration of "live bacterioplankton" to bioremediate and stabilize the aquarium biome. Test parameters to monitor the state of your aquarium, dose if alkalinity drops too low, and avoid feeding until all parameters have been corrected. The large and diverse microbial communities that characterize "mature tanks" are essential, and SPS coral are particularly dependent on those microbes.

I'm sorry you're receiving so many condescending remarks from others under the guise of advice. No one is perfect and we all learn together.

Testing parameters is useful, but I would first "put out the fire" before assessing the damages. Good luck.

Feels good when someone actually makes a point. I dont know why everybody is poiting fingers and be like hey buddy you fcked up, like yeah i know i did and that why we are where but i dont know what exactly i did wrong.
I added 2 scoops of AF life source in last 10 days because i did multiple water changes and i know that could only dilute already damaged microbiome and i also increased my phytoplankton doseing a bit, that are the only things that i have available when it comes to ,,micro stuff"
Thanks for the support. Means a lot
