ok i have had my tank for about 7 months now and had very bad luck with saltwater and when i was putting my tank together i waited about a month and then put some fish in and they all died but my snowflake eel because i didn't wait for the tank to cycle all the way so i just left the tank sitting for a month and put a angler in and he has been doing fine since then but i put in some other fish in and they died and i just kind of gave upon saltwater i sill had my tank but i just didn't take care of it all i did was let it sit there for 5 months and fed my eel and angler because its just way to much money to spend on buying prob 300 in fish especially when me and my mom are in trouble anyway but thats not the point i just some money from my dad and i decided to pend it on some fish so i bought a yellow tang and a yellow flanked wrasse which is very pretty and the next day i have to tell you i don't get money very much but when i do i spend it in no time i bought a 6 line wrasse and a purple dottie i think i just bought it because i didn't want the 6 line wrasse to be a lone in the new tank that i was being stupid and got the fish before i had the tank setup and now lets just say the two little fish are sitting in my main tank in a bait bucket with a air line in it to get some flow in it now i have a bigger problem the yellow flanked wrasse died and he wasn't eating but the yellow tang was and now he isn't and i saw ice on him this morning and i put some ice meds in there and i forgot to say my angler hasn't eaten for like 3 weeks he just won't eat i even bought 10 ghost shrimp he usually goes crazy after those and I'm just asking for some help to keep my fish alive and i really don't want to fall back into that hold where i don't want to do saltwater anymore so if anyone has any ways to help my fish and save money please help and thanks
 
Holy cow dude. Thank sucks. Um...I'm not pro but I can tell you what they are going to ask for so you can get the jump on it for them.

Params:
- ammonia
- nitrate
- nitrite
- pH
- Etc

Size of tank, filtration system, how you set it up, size of the fish, what you feed them...Anything else you can tell us. And preferably not in a run-on sentence. :) You're scared, I was there too. These guys will take care of you, you just gotta be patient and give them info to work with.

Best of luck!
 
ok really idk about my run on sentences...... happy sorry I'm just having some problems outside of the his world also my parameters are all zero except for ph its at 7. and i know I made some stupid decisions and I'm sure they are no the last
 
Jesus. That's one long sentence.
Something isn't right with your parameters. You're moving way too fast anyway. The fact you didn't take care of it for 5 months probably didn't do the system much good. I can't really answer your 'question' because I can't really figure out what you're asking and with the limited info you've provided it's hard to help. Maybe someone more qualified can...
 
I'm not saying this to be mean but your writing is nigh-unreadable. Think of writing as pictures.

The human mind simply reels at a huge block of text.

Just take every thought you have that can stand by itself, and put a period after. Just like this. Then everybody will have an easier time responding.
