I can not keep SPS anymore :(

So my issue is I get a new frag just to test from fellow reefers and the acro will look great for 2 weeks and then they start to die. I took the acros out that were dying and dipped in a potent mixture of Revive since I knew they werent going to be saved and no pests come off. My new pocillipora and neon green birdsnests are doing fine now and my remaining motis skin is starting to get their skin color back. They have been in the tank for just about a month so Im comfortable saying they are finally surviving but my acros are a different story.

Have you been using the same box/bucket of salt through all of this? Might want to try a new batch.

No i have been through at least 5 different buckets maybe more

Sounds like silicon to me. I made the mistake of using a silicon with an additive in my sump. I caught my mistake before adding water, and ended up stripping out the silicon. What a mess. I called GE as my first thought was to cover the toxic silicon with a layer of pure silicon, but they said it would eventually leach through. If you do decide to scrape it out, beware the seal will never be as strong as a first time seal.

Did you check for stray current? I had a similar issue many years ago and it ended up being faulty wall socket (open ground). You can get a simple socket tester for like $4 at any department store.
