Welcome to Canreef!
I thought about your comments to me last night, and I'm glad to see you on here today.

You mentioned that there is live rock and sand in there.
Were the live sand someone else's or purchased in a bag "live"?
Were the live rocks cured in someone else's tank or bought at a fish store?
Did you let the LR and LS go through their cycle before adding fish and corals?

As Fishytime said, give us some concrete numbers as to how long you let your tank cycle prior to adding fish?
Did you really test your water? Most newbies I know (not to be insulting) said that they did, or that they had the store do it for them, but haven't any idea as to the numbers.

We have all had fish stores who are not very reputable tell us things that are incorrect or downright false.

That's another thing... find a well-reputed fish store and stick tho these like glue. They are invaluable to all sorts of answers.

Was the tank/ lights new?? If bought used, the lights maybe off spectrum.

Try feeding your fish a little less.

Keep up with the water changes. I really think that you're still going through your cycle, or maybe never have had the time to finish cycling.
Patience is hard to have in this hobby, but you do have to practice this in order to succed.
Good luck. Lenny.
