5 months is a long die off cycle if u lost a lot in the tank but still possible. Are ya testing your water routinely? Could be mix of bad params and sub optimal lightin.
If ya havent tested yet, should hit your basic tests ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, alk, and calc. Local fish store can help with testing if u dobt have kits yet.
Would offer to visit, but im from the springs.
Gl with the tests, post up some more info. Theres a ton of people happy to help diagnose and trouble shoot.

Basically, a marine system needs an equilibrium of circumstance-- light (quality and quantity), chemistry, filtration, flow, temp, and bacterial cycle.
Your system is questionable in most, if not all of these categories, to properly address the situation you will need to begin by eliminating potential factors.
I would start with lights, flow, and temp, as these will affect the chemistry and potentially the bacterial cycle, also light and flow cannot be affected by another factor.
After these are stabilized you will be able to address the chemistry through dosing and filtration.
