Yeah, that's way too much. Most corals are photosynthetic, remember...120 liters, half a block of mysis and 1 block of cyclops frozen.

Diatoms aren't caused by hight phosphates... at least, not directly.Test kit is outdated but it is high enough that there is diatom growth on the shell of the cleaner shrimp.
My phosphates run around 1.0 with no coral issues.High phosphate can kill coral depending on the levels.
How high are we talking, over 0.2?
I think it may be brown algae as well.Diatoms aren't caused by hight phosphates... at least, not directly.
Are you keeping sps with phosphate levels at 1?My phosphates run around 1.0 with no coral issues.
Diatoms are normally from silicates contained in poor rodi water used in water changes and freshwater topupTest kit is outdated but it is high enough that there is diatom growth on the shell of the cleaner shrimp.
Definitely needs photos of all these phenomenon, to better assist.I think it may be brown algae as well.
No, LPS just like the OP.Are you keeping sps with phosphate levels at 1?
I'm pretty sure they are all usually reef safe but they will turn to eating coral tissue if there is no food available, @ISpeakForTheSeas can help with thatTo your knowledge, are there any that eat corals?
There are absolutely amphipods that eat coral. The problem is, it's very difficult (if not virtually impossible) for the average hobbyist to determine if they have one of these species until they witness them eating the coral. Zoas in particular seem to be targets. (Although, the chance of having the coral eating pods are still unlikely).I'm pretty sure they are all usually reef safe but they will turn to eating coral tissue if there is no food available, @ISpeakForTheSeas can help with that
Also if.it is a 120L tank then I'd feed less food more frequently
Ah. Anything over 0.3 in my tank and the sps start to die off.No, LPS just like the OP.
I'm afraid none, all of them died. Had a very nice mandarin, ate frozen food and pods, was the best fish I had he jumped from a crevice in the lid...@TheMysticGriffin , how much longer will your fish be in quarantine/treatment?
Brown algae, my bad.Diatoms are normally from silicates contained in poor rodi water used in water changes and freshwater topup
Ok, so how much longer do you need to run fallow?I'm afraid none, all of them died. Had a very nice mandarin, ate frozen food and pods, was the best fish I had he jumped from a crevice in the lid...
2 months. Maybe a tad bit longer.Ok, so how much longer do you need to run fallow?
How long has it been fallow?2 months. Maybe a tad bit longer.

So I need to use pesticides? I was going to refer to that as a last option since I don't have another tank setup for the other inverts.Same way you get rid of other bugs Interceptor
a month, but I've added coral from a tank that had marine ich therefore I think I need to reset the fallow period?How long has it been fallow?
