Help with zoo's

[fuzzylion44]

Ok so i had some orange, green, and brown zoo's they were doing great split a lot and took over. So about a month ago all of them started dying off shriveling up and their tentacles have retracted and are short. I dont have a good camera to get a detailed shot. The only thing that has changed is I added a rose bubble tip anemone but it is no where near them. I also have a huge buildup of cyano bacteria red slime. I have tried everything to remedy this with no avail. Po4 is up and so is nitrates and I cant get them down. I do water changes, have a protein skimmer, water temp is 78, and I have 2 t5ho bulbs and then a 4 bulb power compact light. The tank is 72 gal. I have tried using liquid removers po4 and nitrate(was horrible it took all of the o2 out of the water) and also a rock nitrate remover. HELP!!!

High nitraes, high phosphates, and a cyano outbreak...An anemone is very sensitive...is it alright?
Also what are you calling high???
Remove all the cyano you can...do another water change...and run activated charcoal in your filter...my guess is that you are paniced over a small spike..If the anemone is okay then it is most likely chemical warfare going on, the charcoal will take care of it if thats the case.
