Why the hell do my sps keep dying

[justinl]

water parameters would help. system info like lighting, filtration, what you dose and if you test for it etc etc. just the fact that they're kicking the bucket isn't enough for us to help in any way.

I can't seeing the Low ORP if he has a over flow and the water is travelling down any huge water movement the orp is going to be up some what. I can't see that the
alk is that bad lots of Reactors are pumping out 10-11 DKH out for reactors. HOw are the SPS dying in the tank are they dying from the top down or the bottom up.... so you have any nudibranches in your tank that you dont know about that are eating the SPS
