any suggestions
Possible reasons your coral is dying.

1. Tank is one month old.
2. Dead rock, how did you cycle the tank?
3. Dosing everything but gatorade. Don't dose what you can't test for. Adding supplements is meant to replace lost minerals due to coral GROWTH that don't normally get replaced with regular water changes. Since your coral is not growing you should NOT be dosing. Even if coral was growing modestly you should be getting all of your minerals through water changes with a good salt.
4. Not enough Patience.
