Heartbroken. My Tunze skimmer went kaput and I found what looked likerusty water when I pulled it out. My fish made it, but my corals are decimated.
I do a quick once over once a week when I do W/C's and clean the skimmer cup and all looked fine that Wednesday. By the weekend, things looked bad and saw the skimmer was not running. Started doing 25% W/C every other day, and by this past Saturday, what was living was improving. But, all my hard and sps are dead, and 90% of soft died. My urchin, serpent star, giand brown turd, and 95% of my snails and crabs died.
My fish made it through, and my skunk shrimp made it.
Have had this for over 10 years.

OMG! I am so very sorry! As has been said already, if there is anything any of can do, just say the word.
 
Oh what a shame so much money down the drain. Poor creatures, so sad when you couldn’t have done anything
 
And these are the moments that make or break a hobbyist. Im sorry for your coral loss :( but one positive is almost all your other inhabitants made it!
