I am at a loss as to what my next step should be. I had a major tank crash back in July. Lost everything- corals, inverts- but some fish. I do not know what caused the intial crash, but an anenome melted and caused everything to die. I have a 100 gal tank, 30 gal sump, lil beckett skimmer, 3 various pumps circulating water in tank. Amonia, Nitrite, ph, Alk, all where they should be. Nitrate @ 10, cal. @ 450. I have a couple fether dusters, shrooms, and brain in the tank( added over the last 2 months). It took about 5 months before any snails would live. I have tried several other corals but they don't make it (xenia, frogspawn, leathers,). My latest addition was 3 zoa colonies. They closed up within 2 days, so I moved them to my seahorse tank untill I can figure out what is still going on in my 100 gal. There is almost no coraline on the live rock (apporx. 200 lbs.). Could there be something leaching from the live rock? I do not knwo what else to try. I have taken samples to 3 diferent lfs and everything tests fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as my hubby is getting pretty tired of watching our money die away.
