I guess i have been away awhile.
I read and tried to repy to the following thread but cant figure out how.
Sudden Coral Death in a Thriving Tank
posted by Sanjay Joshi on April 8, 2011
if Sanjay reads this, i say you may have saturated your water with chemicals and should do a water transfusion. not water change.
fill the tank and empty it at the same time. get salinity and temp right. ideally you would use at least as much water that is in the tank. but that doesnt seem possible. so do as much as you can. but at least 200 glallons of possible. do you have the capability to mix 200glallons of salt water? its not cheap either, but its cheaper than losing your corals.
sounds like voodoo? its not.
my opinion is your tank is unable to regulate its ph. its likely you have too many fish. also remember when your lights go out, your alkalinity changes and your tank cannot maintain its ph.
im not sure about the science behind it. but this same thing happened to me a few years ago. and that worked for me. now i only do transfusions.
