Ok I have a problem and I can not figure out what it is. I had a small nano tank that was doing well. I upgraded tanks, left it cycle and is great. It's been up 5 months now. Probably ten fish in it. I decided to break down my nano and put everything in my big tank this week and everything seems to be dying or rtning now and I don't know why. I tested everything yesterday and nothing is crazy weird with it so I can't figure out why the corals are dying!

if it's starting to rtn, i woud frag them up real quick before losing all of it. your levels may be fine but that's only the levels you tested. theres still other things that may be miniscul but important like mag, trace elements and water toxins released from other corals while moving.

I'm running a skimmer carbon and just yesterday I hooked my pellets up, to get their seeding started. But this whole plague started before the pellets were there. I just have no clue why everything is dying!

What types of coral are dying? Your phosphates are high, but that doesn't usually cause RTN, just causes them to brown out and your growth will suffer.

well i had a decent colony of pocilapora and birds nest thats done for. acan colony thats holding on for dear life, looks really bad. 3 small montis are about gone. a hammer, duncan and candy cane that look terrible, no polyp extension and gsp thats kinda has some extension but minimal. another small colony of zoas that are pretty much shut.
