[Oohkris123]

All my lps has died hammer, frogspawn, blastos, and now my monti. My water is perfect, temp is 78-80, salinity is at 1.026, ect.... also my 3 snails have died
What is going on.
My zoa garden seems great, candy cane but my toadstool is not realising it polyps even tho it's not shriveled or shedding.
Help?

It's hard to answer such a varied question with the limited information you've provided.
What exactly is perfect water?
Any changes, additives, new lights, etc?

All died at the same time?

Poison?

My nitrates and nitrites are 0 ppm, ammonia is at 0, mag, ion, alk, ph and calcium are absolutely perfect... everything was perfect since the build
I did reduce 10% of my light because I notice a little bleaching on my hammer

All died within 3 days

Lps needs trates and a lil po4...
Your tank is running too clean, but that wouldn't cause so much sudden loss.
something else is awry

Poison?

If my tank were to be poisoned my fish and other corals would have gone

Did they died all at once or over a period of time? Did you spot feed them? Your NO3 at 0 couldn't have helped. May have starved to death.

Check ammonia, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, double check temperature.
Did you make any changes recently? Add or change and gfo? Water change?
Do you have anything that might eat LPS like angels, butterflies, peppermint shrimp?
Do you have a picture?

 

[leahfiish]

Any stray voltage? Are all fish accounted for and acting normal?

What is your definition of perfect? Your temp fluctuation 78 - 80 is not a huge deal, but should aim to have less fluctuation as much as possible.

78-80 is fine, something else is going on...

My tank had 2 margaritas snails, 4 scarlet hrrmits and a fire fish.... temp stays 78 in the am and 80 at night. Ammonia, alk, calcium, mag, and ph always stayed the same never had a swing... didn't add anything or removed

Only had two fish a yellow damsel and a fire fish only my fire fish died.. no voltage or outage

 

[ChiCity]

Damsels are hardy, that's why it's living.
You have metals/toxins in your tank, or stray voltage is my guess if everything is dying at once

Sounds like some kind of contaminant to me. Have you tried putting in some fresh carbon?

I dont run carbon.. my filtration is a bag of purigen, bio pellets and a sponge with filter floss on top. I have no types of metals in the tank

 

[leahfiish]

It sounds like something (soap, heavy metals from a magnet or something, air freshener, etc) is contaminating your tank. Can you do a water change and add a bag of carbon to see if you see improvement? Additionally, as another poster said, you will want to make sure your nitrates and phosphates aren't at 0, that is too low for corals, especially for LPS and it could be starving them.

I've done 3gallon water change 75% ding another tomorrow
