What happens to hard and soft corals when the tank is not maintence properly. Let go for 3 to 4 months. Do they go into dormancy until conditions are better? The fish are still living (damsels) I have ordered lights and protein skimmer pump. That what is out.:help:

First, you'll have better luck in the Reef forum with this question...some of those folks who post over there have god-like luck with very tough corals!
Why did you let it go for so long...or did you inherit the tank?
I would imagine it's going to be hard to bring all that back to life (how much of it is dead already?)...but I have had great luck with some hard corals coming back from the dead when I put them in my tank.
What's in the tank? How far gone are they? What kind of lighting do you have? What are the water parameters of your tank? What kind of calcium system and supplements are you using?
You'll get all these questions, too in Reef...I can help a little with more info---but really, go post over there as well.
