My tank has been acting weird lately.. I had a major crash few months ago so my 2 year old tank went to a 10 week old tank... So now I'm hitting all the bumps in the road again.

My rocks are clean no algae, most of my corals are splitting and growing. And others are melting... I started running carbon again because I figured it might be my angRy corals stressing things out.

I just don't know anymore, the harder I try with this trade the harder I fail.

get a cleaner shrimp or cleaner wrass. They will eat the ick off your fish.

I just put some stress coat in my tank, hope it will help for tonight if I don't loose him tonight Il get a cleaner shrimp tomorrow

See if you can get a cleaner wrasse, we call ours the doctor fish, does 10x more cleaning than a cleaner shrimp, and eats everything we put in the tank.

He might be bite size for my eel. We will see

Ya, I have no experience with eels.

Go onto reef central and reed the sticky thread on ich , cleaner fish and shrimp do nothing about ich and it explains why it comes and goes and gets worse the second time.

Cleaner shrimp and wrasse cant "eat" the ich off fish IMHO. once ich has chosen a fish as host, it is not visible. The parasite is microscopic. What you see on the fish is a cyst the fish's body forms to isolate parasite from body. Once parasite matures it drops to substrate and the cycle begins.
They do however do a great job eliminating many other types of stray parasite that happens to enter water column.

That sucks that relatives put bleach in your tank. That's pretty stupid. I'm glad some of your inhabitants made it through. Have you de-chlorinated afterwards with prime or water conditioner?

You must have some major stress in your tank for this overnight death to be occurring. Try to stabilize everything in the tank like temperature and alkalinity. Don't let temperature fluctuate more than 2-3 degrees a day. See what your nitrates are like in the tank. Check out how to use active carbon properly. I use a cup every 2-4 weeks for 90 gallons of volume for example but every tank is different.

Sorry to hear of what you are going through.
what is your filtration like and if you have a mix of corals you maybe experiencing chemical warfare as you just stated of started carbon.
As for the fish its unfortunate as you must restrain yourself from buying fish without the treating period and never add any new life to your tank until you resolve what you have going as this keeps stress on your inhabitants.
