How long did you have them before they started showing problems?

Your tank looks interesting. In some ways your rock looks very old and well established. In other ways it looks like the system was set up within the last 2 or 3 weeks and the rock wasn't cured properly. Not exactly sure what to make of that.

Ammonia...almost 0 is the problem...tank cant be done cycling
Also would suggest removal of that boat...might leach resins...epoxies...

I see uve started several threads as well where your corals are suffering and weve asked your parameters and asked how old the tank is...with no response....we would like to help but we need your help to do so.

Could it be because ove when i did a major water change over 60% should i add more bacteria in?

 

[Rocktremblay9]

Or should i drain it alll put my fish in a smaller aquarium and start over?

Also its just came to me the problems started when i put the nassarius snaill in my tank could it be it ?? Or its just a coincidence

The tank is about 4 month old ijust did a big water change ove 60% -75% that why it might look new should i add anothe bottle ove bacteria that u put in when u start ur tank or should i putt everything that is alive in a smaller tank and start over?

I would take everything that didn't come from the sea out of the tank. Poorly made stuff will put chemicals in the water that are bad. Things will die and you will have no idea why.

What kind of water are you using for these water changes? Are you making it or getting it somewhere else?

Stop adding chemicals and stuff to the tank. You are not to the point where they will help and they can do harm.

Bacteria will help with the ammonia, wc shouldnt have caused it should have helped it. Iflighting was changed corals will need to be acclimated slowly to it. I would slow down keep parameters in check and let the tank stabilize for awhile.

No reason to start over. I do agree with pulling the decorations out unless they specifically say they were designed for a salt water aquarium. If they were made for a fresh water aquarium they may not be safe. I would also run activated carbon to help pull any possible impurities from the tank.
Otherwise, the best advice I can give is to try and keep things as stable as possible. Other than regular water changes, try to do as little with the tank as possible. Stability helps coral a great deal.

If you just changed the lighting to something much stronger then that is more than likely the culprit. As mentioned above the corals need time to acclimate to new lighting and most of your corals do well in lower lighting. It is possible the leather is growing and is getting ready to shed.
