hi im no expert but had trouble with carb hardness, the level was low and this made the calcium level go right up the corals started to die . since i ajusted the c/h the calcium went back to 400ppm if you keep your eye on the c/h then that might help.

My tank had indirect contact with paint which caused many of the hard corals to melt (softies and fish weren't affected).

What kind of corals?
The problem could range from the above mentioned causes to water chemistry deficiencies, inadequate flow, improper lighting, etc....

maybe one of your test kits are off and your water parameters are not what you think they are. For example you could have a faulty refractometer and your specific gravity could be way off. You might want to find a way to independently verify all your tests.

Yikes!!! Get one of those floating glass hydrometers. They are easy to use, Never go out of calibration and the best part is they are only $5
