    I used ro/di water in my frag tank. Today my frogspawn, candycane coral and disc coral all died today. Their flesh came off...more like disappeared. Oh well, I had these corals for years. Guess I'll just take a break from corals and keep a FOWLR for a while.

    That really doesn't add up. Adding freshwater to the tank and then everything die. Either something is in the water or your level went way out of whack. They all died instantly within a single day or within hours?

    yeah unless when you transfered everything over it shocked them, or maybe the lighting or something melted them..

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Oh I am sorry, huge bummer. How big is the frag tank?

    Did you notice any brown jelly disease?

    Again sorry that has to be very frustrating.
