I thought that I should give me 2 cents in this dicussion. First, you need to check your freshwater that you are mixing with the salt. I believe...
HEY!! I remember writing an article about this a while ago! ;D http://www.3reef.com/forums/water-chemistry/ph-rant-56815.html#post537740
Have you ever checked your DKH? If you believe that your issue is your crushed coral, what do you think is a primary component of liverock? :) We...
It almost looks like an infection... Septicemia...
Sounds almost like dinoflagellates... Do you have any snails? Are they dying too?
I've never seen a chromis live very long after getting the "band of death".. I've lost 5 of them to this crap, and I never figured out what caused...
Thank you all for caring.. It's actually been quite difficult for me. I know, emotions over a fish sounds odd, but it can't be helped..:( I am...

Do you run with carbon? If so, I recommend replacing it now to assist in absorbing any chemical contaminates that could have resulted from the dying...

You said "breathing heavy". Is is rapid respiration, or is is slow and labored? Do the fish show signs of "salt-like spots"? Is there a "glazing"...
A little more info would probably be useful such as: what kind of algae, how long have you had it, what kind of lighting do you have, how much flow...
