Over the past couple weeks, my corals (mushrooms/frogspon/leather) have been dying off quickly. So far, Ive tested ammonia, nitrates, ph, ka, and phosphates and all have been well within limits. Temperature is about 75, and my salinity is ~1.023. I've been doing water changes with the same water (RO system from home) and nothing has seemed to fix it. The only other thing I haven't checked for is Copper, but I'm not sure how it would be getting in to the tank unless the RO system is not working. Does anyone have any other things I should check? I'm going to purchase a copper test kit soon but figured I'd check with everyone else first to see if there is any other advice. Thanks.

- Also, I have a sump with skimmer and lots of live rock and run penguin 200 filter with charcoal
