I have strips and they both shows 0
I am using 5 stage RODI filter and check water before I used it.

I don't have any good one, but I will make more detailed once I get home
Is that a current picture or before the stuff died. If that current tank doesn't look bad
Also what lights you use and strength duration.

This is a new tank, I will make close up pictures of dying corals for you.

Corals started to dye from the bottom up. SPS would stay closed and then just get covered in algae. Mushrooms stay small, usually they 3 times bigger. LPS just started to separate from a skeleton. Tissue would look normal tho. I have two anemones and they don't get effected at all. I had 3 different torches and they all got effected. Now it's hammerhead. Same problem, separating from a skeleton.

I really think it's your nitrates. I had high nitrates and same things happened in my tank before I upgraded to ny 265 Could also be alk swings. Not sure how you dose or how often you test
New tank wouldn't cure everything. You used new sand right. Also what king if protein skimmer you have

Before I was doing 20 gal once a month or once in two weeks. With this tank I didn't do any yet. I dose only Ca and Alk +NoPox some times. Right now I am not dosing NOpox.

I have only 2 ppm NO3 right now. I dosed a little yesterday. I test almost every day.
Skimmer is Eshops right now. I replaced my Octopus because that one was leaching some current.

20 gallons once a month on 225 gallons isn't much. You might want to increase that to once a week. Also I don't like nopox Ny friend used it and all his clams died. He had those clams for 2 years. All his sps died but the clams made it though. He started dosing nopox and his hammer and scoly and clams died

You don't have high ph. Your ph looks good to me
Are you sure your testing right. Have you ever had anyone double check your testing.

I was actually thinking of that. Because all this started to happen when I put NoPox on a schedule with a doser. Before I was dosing manually couple times a week and had no problems.
