I know my levels are off somewhat, but they have been constant for a LONG time. The only difference from then till now is the sand. Thats why I'm conserned about toxins. I don't know if it PO the corals to the point they released something or if the Cucumber just happened to die around the same...
They are accurate outside of the po4 is 1.26 and the cal is more like 420. Even though my PO4 is high it wouldn't cause everything to die or almost die in a 3 day span.
I believe it was a salifert or redsea. I forget.
It was a tiger tail.
I don't know exactly what type. Maybe something a coral put out or maybe my missing cucumber died or released something when adding the sand. I tested for copper and thats negative.

Fresh water, but was drained before adding to the tank.
Everything still looks terrible. Lost one of the encrusting monti's and the setosa is starting to bleach out as well.
Brand new sand. Washed it in a bucket(what I use for water changes). Its estes sand. Its kind of hard to explain it but its more course than regular sand. http://store.seacorals.net/esaqsawhaqsu.html
I also just replaced the carbon in the reactor so hopefully that pulls whatever it is out of...
Just ran out and got a copper test. Showing 0. Just looked up the sand company again to see what it say's and its saying it is marine safe so I'm at a loss. Why would 10-15 lbs of sand crash a tank? Whats got me real puzzled is its hit and miss with what corals are affected. Red cap looks fine...
Well I give up. I added about a 1/2 inch of sand(washed Thoroughly) and it looks like the tank is crashing. Sand was added yesterday and this is how everything looks as of now.
