If you can see the Skeletons on your LPS and your SPS are dead,I would say your tank is crashing.

I agree. Nothing to lose at this point and if it is something in the water than let's try replenishing that first. I know your frustrated. Give that a go and see if anything perks up in 48 hours. If you do see any of the bases of the LPS expelling something it likely is a bad sign of the end of a life.

Tank is 3 months old, or you started adding corals 3 months ago after tank had cycled w/ stable parameters and little to no algae or dinos?
By what means have you been dosing alk/Ca/Mg?

Help!! Please!!
Check for ammonia, it can cause rapid deterioration.
Also were corals healthy at any point or they started to deteriorate from the first day you added them. If this is the case, tank is simply not mature enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
