Hello every one
Need help related to my tank for some time my corals aren't doing well some of them are dying and some of the torches have died of brown jelly disease also noticed some type of pests on my glass

Tank details 6 ft, reef breeder led
And these are my test results

Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
Kh 9.6

I'm sharing some pictures of the corals that are deteriorating
I have tried water changes every 15 days dosing all for reef , nopox

Guidance is required

right off the bat, you have zero nutrients and your corals are starving.which leads to the question why are you dosing nopox?..

you are asking for dino's to occur...get those nutrients up..

low nutrients and higher alk is asking for your corals to die off...

To control the nitrates and i thought all for reef had every thing required for corals new to the hobby
And secondly whats your recommendation how to get nutrients up ?
 
What were your nitrates were at when you started Nopox and what is your desired level? Zero is not good.

Stop dosing Nopox, decrease nutrient export if possible, and/or increase feeding.

Feeding to fish for nitrates or to feed corals directly
 
Both.
 
all the answers above are spot on...to get your nutrients up, feed the tank along with feeding the fish..
 
Might need to reset your knowledge though. If your nutrients are bottomed out, you should not be dosing Nopox.

AFR is for replenishing alk/ca

Nopox is for reducing nitrate/phosphate
 
These tests have been done by my supplier
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
Kh 9.6

****Update****
After emphasis on nitrates and phosphates the test I performed my self after this post

No2: 0.1 mg/l
No3: 30 mg/l
PO4: 0.1 mg/l
