HELP! my corals are dying – Red Sea Max 130

I have a Red Sea Max 130. I’ve had it for almost a year now and my coral suddenly starts to die. I feed them with ZooPlex, Phytoplankton, calcuim, brine shrimp, cyclops etc.. I use a Red Sea Max self build in filter, a self build in protein skimmer, a powerhead and i just started using the Fluval 204. Can somebody help me?

Breeding brine shrimp?

Last year I bought a packet of brine shrimp eggs. (To feed freshwater fish) Now that I have a marine tank (65gallon with 4 percula clowns and small corals)(it’s fully matured so now i’m starting to add corals) Will brine shrimp lay eggs in the tank. Last time I fed my percula clowns brine shrimp was last week and last night after I turned off the light and looked into my tank with a small torch I could see some brine shrimp swimming around.
Will they breed themselves? Or is there anyway to promote breeding? I want them for the perculas and coral.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Is this okay stocking for a 50 gallon?

2 ocellaris clownfish
2 saddle clownfish
1 blue yellow belly tang

1 tricolor fairy wrasse
1 bluestripe neon goby
1 firefish goby
4 bartlet anthias
1 nano reef trimma goby
1 black cap basslet
2 cleaner shrimp

possibly one Mandarin goby

all i would like to know is if these fish are compatible in a reef tank of 50 gallons.

and can i add more?
and should i get 75 gallon instead?
and last but not least, any suggestions for corals and anemones?
