New Tank Paramaters Help

[MarkS]

Hi, after cycling my tank for 3+ months I added some coral a few days ago and it got totally wiped out.

I am unsure why everything seemed to be able n track.

As of today:

PH = 8.00 Amomia = 0.25 Nitrate 1 = 0.00 & Nitrate 2 = 5.00

I have found heaps of reference material on the net but what do you experts recommend I do to get correct Paramaters and any other advice. It is quite disquieting to think I had done everything slowly only to kill off my first coral.

TY

What are you using to test your parameters, and what did you do to cycle your tank? A fully cycled tank should read no ammonia whatsoever

Need some more info. What coral was it? What light do you have? How long did you have it? Did it die fast?
