need advice

Ok so recently I got flatworms so I did a flatworm exit, then during that treatment I noticed I had some zoe pox so I did a water change and then did a treatment with furan 2 not dipping but treating the whole tank aas I have some very large colonies. Now the flatworms are back and the zoe pox is less but still there. My main problem is my corals are extremely bleached. The article I read said that they will take on the color of the Furan2 but its been a few weeks and they look like crap, plus the polyp extension sucks and some zoes arnt opening at all, my clam is on the brink of death. My levels are good except MG is 1500 I will post a list of levels later when I get home. What can I do I need to do another treatment but im scared too. Also I did a 30% water change and ran charcoal after treatment. Its a 34 Solana with a 10gal fuge/zoe garden. Also all my recent purchases have been fine look great and show no signs of discoloring.

Do you think I should do another treatment for flatworms and pox or should I wait. My clam died yesterday it was a small 3" maxima

Also forgot to mention a few days ago my calurpa melted and died the cheato in the same fuge is fine though. I think my phos might be high but I have no way to test this but I have been having hair algea outbreaks so I put a phos filter in and it goes away then when I pull it out it comes back. I tested my levels and everything seemed ok except my MG was 1500 not sure why the only thing I dose is purple up.

Levels before water change
ammonia-0
nitrite-0
nitrate-0
Ca-440
Mg-1500
Alk- cant remember but it was within range

It might have been easier if you posted what you didn't do.

Try sticking to one treatment at a time.

Noted for next time. Do you also think I should do a 50% water change? Or should I just leave things alone for a while? I mainly just dont want to lose all my SPS and Zoes I figured I wouldn't do another Furan treatment and just let any affected zoes fight it out if they die so be it.

NEVER use furan in your main tank to treat, it's a dip regiment ONLY. as folks don't know how much this will affect your tanks system, health, specimens, inverts in your main tank.

for flatworms. Vacuum out as much as you can, dying ones release toxins in your tank. run lots of carbon.

Since you now have furan in your main tank, do a couple water changes, 50%, the 25% then 15-10% then continuously run carbon to help take out what's left in your tank. Don't know how much will be absorbed by your live rock.
