Can't keep SPS

[newsalt]

My 180g is currently a FOWLR tank. I live in NJ, and last fall, I lost everything due to a power failiure as a result of Hurricane Sandy. Before that, I had a beautiful SPS reef under AI LED lights. Not that the tank has been up and running again for over a year, I can't seem to get the SPS to live in the tank. Granted, I don't have a CA Reactor anymore, but my CA and Alk levels are good. I've tried Caps and Arcos, and the both perish in a short time.

Any thoughts??

Whats your flow like?
Whats your current lighting?

For your second post I wouldn't start with something that through a computer monitor sounds rude.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I will assume para a are in check. Have you cleaned your pumps recently? Any corrosion on the magnets?

Are your heaters less than a year old?

When they die how do they die? Rtn, stn? Top down? Bottom up?

Copper, some other kind of poison in the water?

Tank too clean and lights too bright, stressing out all the SPS?

Just random ideas.

If the OP would answer the question I asked that would help us answer his.
