    I am an owner of a 30g sw tank. I have only started as of 8 months ago. Before that I was a fw owner. So you could call me an NEWBIE.
    To give a bit of detail of my tank:
    I have:
    30lbs live rock
    crushed coral substrate
    protein skimmer
    2 power heads
    1 aqua clear filter (carbon only)
    1 cleaner shrimp
    alot of crabs and snails
    2 clowns - had for 3 months
    1 yellow blenny - had for 2 months
    1 urchin- 2 weeks
    1 sunpolyp -1.5 months
    1 mushroom (which I can't find) 1.5 months
    and some other coral (forget the name)1.5 months
    some hair algae:p 3 weeks or more
    And I am having difficulty in keeping any new fish. They all seemed to die with in a week to 2 weeks after getting them.:confused::confused: such as a yellow tang, cleaner wrasse, fire shrimp and the latest one an algae blenny.
    So I am asking for help or suggestions. My computer lingo is not the greatest.

    Thanks
