Originally;
2 Blue plus 11am-11pm
2 Coral II 14K 12pm-9pm
2 Coral 10K 12pm-6pm
1 Coral II and one Fiji Pink 2pm-4pm

I turned off the 10ks and the Coral II Fiji pair, but the recession started before this

Besides the change in the GFO source, the biggest thing I've done lately is the nearly-doubled fish food amount

No changes in location of acans, flow, lighting, husbandry etc before the recession started
Just the addition of coral frenzy 2-3 times/week, mixed in a cup of RO and poured into the tank in front of an MP10 with the return pump off for 15mins

No new fish, inverts etc
A new turaki, pink birdsnest, favia and green slimer, but not added anywhere near the acans. New corals were dipped in Revive and rinsed before attaching with Ecotech Coral Glue

Skimmer cup is cleaned once a week, socks are changed once a week

Param refresher;
79f Callibrated against numerous thermos
1.025 Sg Callibrated last week
pH 8-8.15 Callibrated 2 weeks ago
Alk 7-7.5 Elos
Ca 410 Elos
Mag 1350 Elos
Potassium 3-400 Elos
NH3/4 zero Ammo badge and Elos
NO2 zero Seachem
NO3 zero Seachem
PO4 0.04 Hanna

Equip;
2 part dosers
Tunze ATO zero TDS RO
Same Carbon since last june
BRS HC GFO

I just tested for voltage with a Fluke 334 ( $250 meter );
0.00volts

Only the aussie acans are dying
The rest of the softies, LPS and SPS, and the bubble tip, are either unchanged, or are starting to color back up
No weird fish or invert indications .... nadda for signs besides some increased HA after the addition of the extra foods. And we lost one lettuce nudi that melted away in the tank. The other 3 nudis are still eating away and getting bigger

Couldn't be the rotted nudi, could it ????

I'm racking my brain for anything else
