sometimes i hate this hobby

my clown fish damsels and clown goby are still alive

 

well clowns are damsels. they can tough it out through a lot.

 

Is there a electrical current in ur tank?

 

nope no shock and all the fish that are alive are acting normal

 

My first thought was temp but I was thinking too high.Are you sure your tank temp has been at 70? I know it's usually a little cooler in Mass. than N.J. but the heat has been extreme on the east coast lately,without the ac running my tank might have overheated.

 

it was fine i think my tank actuallly runs at around 76 but i cant tell what temp it is exactley at. i felt it with my finger and it seemed around the norm temp

 

To me it sounds like your doing a lot of guess work rather then having actual numbers. IMO, test kits are mandatory. Even having the lfs do them, they can easily make a mistake or tell you "everything is fine" without telling you exactly what the numbers are. The same thing goes for temp. Saying you tested it with your finger and it feels about right is not a wise practice. From personal experience, my tank will sometimes feel nice and warm and other times cold depending, but be the same temp. If you can, get some parameters, ammonia, nitrite nitrate, ph etc.

 

Sorry to hear, thermometer and test kits are a must. +1 on getting the figures from the LFS.

 

i no trouble is im leaving for mexico for 19 days to go diving (dont worry ill bring back some pics of fish and corals) so its up to my dad to buy that stuff or atleast get it tested at the LFS

 

+1 on 70 being a bit low, best kept around 76-80 IMO. I agree with GuitarMan, if you want to successfully keep a SW tank, you should rely on your own testing. LFS' can be very vague & much of the time don't know what they're doing. Investing $500+ into a tank & not buying some test kits for extended params would make me feel very insecure about it. You can get the API Master Saltwater Kit & some Salifert ones for ALK/CA/MG/PO4, buy them slowly but at least start with the Master kit.
