Fish dropping one by one, coral are fine.

Well I wouldn't treat just to treat. Need to make sure to ID the problem before you add anything into the tank. Are you seeing anything on the fish? Spots? Growths?etc? Also what prompted you to treat with melafix? Also did you recently add a new fish to the tank within a month from all this happening?
Wow strong words homie.
All I know I haven't killed a fish in 2 year! Ok one fish and that was cause Cody's carpet ate it. But check this fatguys tank CBB still kicking, clown tang is an ahole(called him Mac jr) but alive. My frozen dead fish collection is a zero. Corals on the other have no chance in my care.
@Sqee sounds like marine ick. If your fish have white spots and are flashing. Flashing is when they rub on surfaces.

I wish I had four hands to give this thread 4 thumbs down, http://youtu.be/HsFvhi7RhWc
Ya or the tank was overstocked to begin with that's why the nitrates was so high.
I was laughin at wicked's video cause everyone probably thought the problem was more complicated. In the end it was just the ich... That's what I got from the vid he posted anyways.

since coral are much more sensitive to environmental changes than fish, the parameters (though far from ideal) are probably acceptable; the SPS are your canaries & they are still singing. so the cause is likely specific to fish.
the fish either died from something newly introduced to the tank or something already there. consider:
diseases: freeze a dead fish and do a necrospy under a microscope or post the pics here
bad husbandry: are you feeding enough / the right stuff
equipment
fish agression or predation
disease ranks high on my list for you. just remember often the cure is as harsh as the disease.
good luck

bluejaw trigger - dead
flame angel - dead
4 clown fish, - 1 dead.. so far
blue tang - acting funny, dnt think it will make the night..
yellow tang seems to be fully healthy
diamond goby looks 100%
2 chromis seem ok but they hide all the time, they hide ever since i got them, (first fishes to the system - tester fish)
purple tang and coral beauty seem fine in my anemone tank
yellow watchman, and scooter bleny seem to be fine aswell. to answer the question.. 12 still alive out of 15?. oh my wrasse died aswell.
both of my skimmers are currently off. one doesnt quiet work, it pumps but idk if its just not pumping to the cup beacuse of the fish keeper and malfex (i got malafex from coral collection, who recommended it. but the dose is still in my system, i can smell it in my sump.. and it irrates my other skimmer and foams up the entire tank.
