I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I have a 125 gal tank, recently I moved which of course had my nitrates all wrong so I did a water change. Since my water temp has been about 78 the grav 1.023 the nitrates, nitrites, calcuim, ammonia, ph have all been perfect. It still seems that something is wrong. I have 2 leathers that have died, ,my devils hand is looking grim, my xenia have died, several mushrooms, i think my bubble coral and christmas tree coral are on their way down, my flower pot has not opened up now if a few days. Several frags of my zoos have died, all of my fish are good, I do still have some coral that are in good shape, I just don't know what to do....PLEASE HELP!!

I would recheck my levels... and maybe check for phosphates. Are you having any other problems with algae or anything? Have you changed the lighting? Did you properly reacclimate them after the move? I would try doing a iodine dip such as lugols or maybe seachem reef dip to help save the corals. Also when was the last time you have changed the bulbs in your lighting? I'm guessing you have proper lighting already if you have that many corals, but if the bulbs are old then that throws off their spectrum.
