hi all, i have a 90 gallon reef tank with all kinds of corals that are for the most part doing pretty well. i have an excess of browninsh algae on lots of the live rock and i have purchased meny snails and crabs to get rid of it but they never last long enough to clean the tank. also any fish that i buy never seem to lastmore than a few months.

its a 90 gallon and all the nitrate, amonia, calcium..ect ect levels seem to be in check. i use RO water and more recently i have been doing my weekly 10% water changes

does anyone have any ideas? also the tank is located in a hair salon, so i was thinking maybe some sprays and what not could be contaminating the water? maybe i should be adding carbon to the sump?
 
Running carbon wouldn't be a bad thing at this point

Do the fish display any symptoms of illness
 
Could just be where you are buying from. Bought two fish from this one store both died and then some time later down the road i bought another one from there and it died as well. During this time I had other fish that were doing fine and showed no signs of illness + params were all good. What type have died?
