Well i am deffinetly going to get a RODI system and I think I'll try a new food. Any recomendations? If that doesn't work than I guess I'll wait about a month to get some more fish. Also do i Need fish in my tank? or can everything survive without them? Maybe I sould just go without them for a lil while.

There are a lot of people selling used RO/DI systems here and there, but beware that old filters should be replaced and the $$ could add up to the cost of a new system.
I remember someone posted a vendor source for a new one around here not too far back - a great systme for $100 if I remember correctly.
I would consider just buying the RO/DI from a LFS (they even mix the salt sometimes) for a bit to see how things are and throw in a coupl eof damsels again. Start with 100% (or close) new water for a fresh start. You can also try a local supermarket for water from what I am told. Either way, you should not be looking at more than about $5 / month in water cost.
You don't have to have fish, although if you decide to add some later and your live sand has "died", you will need to go through a whole new cycle process again, which some corals will not appreciate (SPS love VERY clean water).
