What are you calling a fishesh coral? Sometimes a tank can let one type of coral thrive but more delicate corals can’t because of the water quality not being good enough. For example, I could keep soft corals and mushrooms but LPS and SPS were out of bounds.
I started cleaning up my water, doing more WCs and now I can keep the LPS corals. Until I have my nitrates and phosphate at 0 consistently I won’t be able to keep SPS coral.

i meant fishesh and Corals . i will give you my parameteres in a couple of hours .

I was just rereading your original post. Healthy corals don't die in a day or two...it takes weeks as they ever so slowly shrink up or shrivel up and die. I always laughed at SWF for their 15 day guarantee. It takes longer than that for coral to die, so they would seldom have to pay out.
So besides posting the water specs, exactly how does your coral act as it "dies" where did you get the coral, and what type of coral have you tried to keep?

i bought them from many different places, my original ones from the 110G tank are ok but new ones died in 3-4 days , they disingrated or melted or the way T-1000 died in the last part on the terminator 2 movie in the LAVA .

whats does acclimation even mean ?

I just noticed this, and nobody answered you...
It means to get the new critter used to the new home..Your tank.
You add a little of the new tanks water to the critters and remove some of the old as you go. The new critter, be it a fish, invert or coral gets used to the new SG level and dfferences from your tank to the one they came from.
