This tank is driving me nuts. A sheet of coraline slid off back wall. The whole sheet. Numbers on Trident doubled checked with hannas and saliferts daily since nutrient issue being corrected. Also white spots on coraline FYI. Here are numbers. Any best guess would help. Very mixed reef. Pic here to see. Also getting polyp bailout. Thought nutrient defincy. Ready to light it on fire. Lol.

Back story. No flatworm no bugs no slime no jelly. Just a slow burn with heads detaching still puffy and alive. Mostly torches and hammers and frog and gonis. Lost 90 percent.
Feeding has gone way up due to low nutrient but a patch of algae still remains in display.
Someone thought toxins from nems..carbon online. Gfo pulled offline.
It will go three days looking great and boom here we go again.
Pretty basic system. Sump skimmer fuge.
Seems it's happening on right side of tank. Turned lights down to see if that did anything. Nope.
Watched at night for sweepers and critters. Nope.
Changed out all chemicals additives and salt just in case.
Icp showed tin high. Everything all perfect. Went over and replaced pumps heaters. Ran poly it didn't change color.
Pulled all leathers thinking toxins. Stopped water changing out per advice on nutrient issue.
I'm at a loss. Any help much appreciated. Tank went from thriving to failing on a slow burn.
any more words of wisdom????? I'm really at a loss here. Started in spring.
