They look bleached. Do you have anyone maintaining this tank? When was the last water change?
- No I don't have anyone to maintain the tank I try to do it by myself but I don't have experience.
- Since my friend help me to setup the tank I didn't make any water change.
 
Did the mushrooms ever recover?
Although the issues are two months apart they could likely have the same cause.

Some possibilities are temperature issues, too much/too little lighting, and high/low salinity.

Have you noticed any change or issues with the lights on the tank?
Do you have a reliable way to test the temperature and salinity level?

I was wondering about the mushrooms also.

I think with the cold weather, your heater(s) can't keep up with the temperature. The top value is the process variable (PV aka measured temperature) and the bottom is setpoint variable (SV where the controller is set to target). It's unable to reach 78F so either the heater has failed, or it is too small for a tank that size. What heaters did Michael set up in your sump tank? We can recommend replacements that can fit (usually an Eheim Jager to give more security).

The salinity is a little low too, you want to shoot for 1.026 or so and you can remedy this by adding salt water to the tank as it evaporates.

Do you see a light illuminated about an inch down from the black plastic top? It's either red or green depending on how old the heater is.
