hang in there man, that would suck but i would like to help u with some frags to get your tank up to full speed again if you want.......
 
So what happend is the aptasia got out of control even with kalk pasting and zapping. Red slime algae, green hair algae bubble algae brown slim e algae, Briopsis and random fish die off and coral die off, We had to remove all the corals we could and remove the fish that were left.
In that proses we lost all the corals and most of the fish.

I understand you were battling the aptasia and algae problem, many in this hobby have the same. What I haven't read is exactly what specifically precipitated the die-off? Unlikely was chill as you probably used heaters. PH shock? Lack of O2? Nutrients going back in solution? Stirred up sand? Too much change at once start a cycle process? If that was the case, wasn't ammonia build-up and toxins in solution the primary killer?
 
Thats the problem mike I think it was a combination of alot of things.. not 100% sure. But I know I had fish dieing at random coral receding and dieing. just CRAZY struff
 
Glad you guys aren't giving up! Sorry to hear about this though. Wish I could help but I have nothing to offer you out of my tank as I just started up again myself.
