In need of help from experienced sps keepers!

I think I'm just gonna leave everything as is and just do a bunch of 20% water changes back to back if I can. I normally do 20% water changes every week anyways. Yes Myka I kept all my old live rock and sand in a bin in my basement with heater. I'm trying to sell it with my old setup as a package

An immature system and less than optimal water chemistry. Change those characteristics and then see what happens.

Why didn't you use any of your old rock? Is there algae all over it or pests? If not, I bet your tank would do a lot better with it in the system. As long as there are no pests and it is not cycling (no ammonia), then put it in the sump. If it won't fit in the sump, then put it in the tank even if you're just tucking it in somewhere temporarily. Between that, a few water changes, and stopping dosing I think you'll be back on track.

Sorry to hear of your troubles.
Everyone has pretty much covered all the bases, and I never seen any flatworms in any pic.
After you explained everything with your recent setup it appears to me that your tank is just too new for corals. Don't take offence but you really need patience in this hobby and by the posts you have put up you might be lacking that
Not putting your phosphate and carbon reactors on line wouldn't have caused this either.
On another post you mentioned vinegar dosing? Still doing that? You by chance didn't over dose did you? There's also guys that don't use GFO or Rowa when dosing.
Good luck and hope you get this stuff figured out. And maybe put off getting any SPS for a while.
