I have several corals including, toad stools, anemene, hammers, brains, and sun corals. they are all withering away and I tried everything! Help please!
 
and what are your params?
 
In addition to providing your lighting and water parameter info:

How long have you had your set up?

How long have you had your corals before prior to them going 'down hill'?

What other livestock is in the tank (fish, inverts, etc)?

The sun coral is non-photosynthetic so the fact that it too is experiencing adverse effects seems to suggests an issue with water parameters, though it could be a number (or combination) of factors.

My tank is a 115 and I change 30 gallons evey week. params are where they should be. I use a 3 stage r/o system for fresh water. I use pro reef salt. salinity is correct. I am getting kinda frustrated. I have a refugium and skimmer. I also sometimes put a bag of carbon in the sump. I don't have any other Ideas.

The tank is about a year old, everything was fine for about nine months or so and then its been down hill since. Angel, Cromis, Naso tang,Gobys, cleaner shrimp, a Clown and some small crabs.

Calcium levels are great my tank thrives with the purple algee. You know I have had a red algee problem lately, thats why I change water every week. Do you think the red algee could be using all the nutrients and minerals the corals need?
