I'd second checking your pumps and magnets for rust, both in tank and sump. Don't miss any
Tank not doing well, any help greatly appreciated.

You send your water sample to Unique and then they ship it to Germany along with others who are getting their water tested... Or something like that.

Just checked all pumps and everything is fine and in order. gave me a chance to clean it out with some vinegar.
Added prime, rox carbon, and skimming wet at the moment. Am also going to send water to Triton.
Question I had, if I made fresh ro/di 0ppm water and added a little prime to it, will this effectively make the water safe?

BRS, same one i've been using since the beginning.
It should. I use pure sodium thiosulfate for all of my tanks, FW and reef. I typically use about 4-6 crystals for 50 gallons of water since I don't like to keep stock solutions of the stuff around long. Good information is here

Good luck.

Can get the strips @ BRS too: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/insta-test-free-total-chlorine-strips-lamotte.html
Also added a filter for it: https://www.amazon.com/SpectraPure-...11565&sr=8-8&keywords=chloramine+filter+block
Finally, I do add prime to each RO batch I make.
The strips are nice, so that you can test the water each step of the way. before filters are used, after filters, before prime, after prime.
It'll give you a good idea of what has the most impact on it as well as when you need to replace the filter.

That filter is the PenTak filter I was talking about -- SpectraPure sells and recommends them, they do not make a chloramine filter themselves

Just wanted to put a conclusion to the situation.
I've been swamped with work, but was at least able to install a chloramine block in my ro/di and used some prime in all new water. Death seems to have stopped and polyp extension is good. Corals are slowly coming back and coloration normalizing. Keeping my fingers crossed.
