Holy cow bud, your corals are looking awesome !!!

As for the fish thing ... I've had the same happen to me.
I was using some 'less than pure' calcium additive stuff and decided to flush it out of my system.
Took about 6 months before my system turned around.

Consider what you are adding to your water, and what is not being removed by either usage or water changes ...

Either way, your tank is looking spectacular bud
Lots of growth and filled in well.

Have you considered upping your lighting some more ?
I see your SPS are growing 'up'
I had that with mine. I cranked up the light timers and they started to grow sideways as well as up.

Thanks Gregg.

You know, I never really put much thought into the way my corals are growing up mostly. I always assumed I had plenty of light.
Currently 6 t5 bulbs plus 2 mitras pumping out full blues during peak time.
Maybe I could increase the duration the lights are on.

As for the fish . At the time of my first fish loss 6 months ago no livestock had been added to the tank in well over a year. It was a flame wrasse and he just stopped eating . Almost overnight one day.. all remaining fish showed no change . It took a few weeks but the wrasse didn't Make it.. months went by without any further loses so I assumed old age .. who knows. Nobody likes losing a favorite fish...

I keep my water changes very consistent. Roughly 40g every 2 weeks. Wich is around 35 percent tank volume.
I don't dose random things. I stick to what I have been adding for years now.

Cheers
