What is your parameter pH, mag, alk, salinity, cal during the day?

My frogspawn didn't make it :-(. My ammonia nitrate nitrite and phosphate have been zero for 2 days. My wife had to go to a doctors appointment in Bismark and brought back an acan as a surprise. I would return it but 150 miles is a long way to return something she spent 20 bucks for. He's eating so I'm thinking he's okay.

That explains why you have a perfect parameter and corals are feeling uncomfortable.
Tha's a good point. If It is, youd smell rotten eggs with the tank. If you do a seriously large water change over 50% be sure everything matches perfectly. Ph, temp, salinity,.Could also be the result of hydrogen sulfide aside from amonia and nitrite. Since you only have corals you can do 90 pc pwc. That way it removes quickly whatever toxic gas remaining in the system.

I drip acclimate everything. No point in shocking corals with a sudden ph and salinity changeWhen you add a new coral do you really acclimate it that way or just do a coral dip?

Corals have specific parameter to thrive on and LFS do maintain them in such standard level otherwise they will keep losing them. We the reef keepers do the same thing. If you take the parameter readings of your new corals i bet you the only difference would be just the temperature. Other data may differ but it would not be that much. Some acclimate them and some just float the bag in the tank until it has the same temperature. I do the later and never had a problem.
