I have used 3 doses and nothing has happend.

I think it all depends on what kind of coral one has, how slow or fast one increases the Vibrant dosage to get to the desired level, and how high a dose is regularly administered. When I stopped dosing, I immediately had a cyano bloom. IME, whenever I dose a product, no matter what it is, I throw off chemistry in a way that causes a different problem to arise. Whenever possible, I try to find the root problem and fix that rather than put a band-aid on the problem by dosing.

dug, thanks for sharing, and so sorry to read of your losses.
I've seen enough of these kinds of threads that I've been completely turned off their products.
Sorry I can't give you any info to turn things around, aside from massive WCs and carbon to remove whatever is in your tank from the bottles.
I haven't used carbon on a regular basis for over 4 years, and because of this I'd recommend you perform another large WC after removing your last batch of carbon to replenish elements removed.
My yellow tang had HLLE even with very decent carbon filtration elements. Since I stopped using carbon all is good.

Anyway, get those elements back in the tank after the carbon is out.
