75g Reef from Istanbul/Turkey

Hello everyone,
Sadly since March i have had some terrible issues with my tank. the reasons i have still not found and its disturbing me a lot. Just weeks after my last update my SPS and LPS started closing their polyps and loosing tissue. Meanwhile everything else including softies, snails, shrimp and of course with have been OK and thriving. I suspected the usual Biopellets and stopped them. But nothing changed. Since then i have done several things tested a lot of parameters, i changed some equipment, checked RO-DI but nothings strange and couldn't find any reason. 2 months ago i did a big water change with new salt and added some test sps.. Things went well for 3 weeks and corals started dying again.. slowly loosing tissue from bottom and tips. Polys disappearing.

Parameters :
KH -7-8
Ca:430
Mg:1300
NO3:5
PO4:0.03-0.01 ish


So i gave whatever survived to my friend and he is keeping them until i will have a new tank hopefully next summer.Right now i only have my fish and some ricordeas/palythoas in the tank.

I am sorry this happened to your tank. I had a similar issue with my tank at the just after the start of the year...with mine I suspect air freshener...but not entirely certain.

Anyway, I restarted my tank with new rocks and so far things look better.
