Has your tank fully cycled? IE, nitrites have shown up, followed later by nitrates. Before adding any corals or fish, you should have zero ammonia, and zero nitrites. Some nitrates are OK and are an indication that your tank has cycled.

You don't want to rush setting up a new tank. Lots of info here about this if you search a bit and read up on cycling new tanks.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
