Was it biopellet?
 

So while people are enjoying the long weekend, I am grieving over my tank :( Started with a burnt maxi jet 1200 of the biopellet reactor to xenia getting brown jelly and releasing nasty stuffs in the tank, some of the SPS have started to fade. I did 15 gallon wc and have another 10 gallon planned for tomorrow. I have given up on biopellets (don't know whether it caused all the problems but I am being very skeptical now). Kinda downed right now :( Ran heavy dose of carbon for few hours.

Other than WC, I can't think of anything else to cure the tank. Any suggestion?

How many gallons is the tank and how many ml of pellets did you have in the reactor? Pellets will not cause brown jelly disease, anything with the brown jelly that is not SPS should be dipped in CoralRX & SPS dipped in Revive to remove any algeas, brown jelly or anything else.

Has around 60 gallon of water. Around 50ml of pellets. Xenia had the brown jelly and removed it at once. None others seems to have been affected but the corals are acting funny. Closed polyps and the red planet has faded color. Even the pump wasn't totally "burnt" in the water.

Pump failure could have cause stray voltage.

I tried bio pellets a few years ago and can't say I was impressed. I remember being told you have to start with a very small amount and work up.

Sorry to hear your having troubles.

I didn't get any shock when I put my hand in the water (possibly because of the carpet?). In case the corals did get zapped, will they recover? Or is the slimy gooy smelly chemical released by the xenia got hold of the corals?

Generally my system should run 250ml (according to vextex) but I started with just 40-50ml. Maybe the biopellet didn't cause it? I don't know :'(

I also had no luck running bio pellets. I still have the 80$ bag sitting underneath the tank. I had issues with my sps a month or two after running biopellets, they started to STN. I also cant say what caused it "for sure" but ive stayed away from them every since. Sorry to hear about the headache, especially on the long weekend..

Me three with the biopellets, I built a recirculating reactor and had the effluent going straight into my skimmer, tank became infested with hair algae which I could not rid (system was 2 years old with zero algae and I was trying to eliminate the use of GFO), ended up using algaefix to rid the algea and quit the pellets, algae never returned.

Keep up the carbon
Good luck!

Did my bio pellets do this?

Probably not
