everything dieing

[johnl69]

my tank went a bit cloudy on sunday morning and now all the softies are shedding and the fingers have turned black all the snails are dead and the fish seem sluggish

Tested the water and the result are as follows

ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate undetectable
phosphate 0.013 (D&D)
magnesium 1350
calcium 430
DKH 10
PH 8.3

I havnt got a clue what could have caused this the only thing I can think of is the fact that i added Epsom salts and Seachem reef builder in on the same day and this may have caused some sort of chemical reaction.

I am running carbon and changing it every 12 hours and am mixing up 200L water change so fingers crossed.

I know its obvious and its not meant patronising but did you have a nem or anything that could have possibly been mushed by p/heads etc?
