Like Otto said, remove the dead fish. Ugh, sorry to hear this. I was hoping we'd get lucky. 
When does Dad get back? |

I wont be able to go over there sometime this evening like 8 or 9.. unless I make a special trip to get out the dead fish.... don't you think the crabs will eat them? He has a huge "attack pack" of some 70 or so crabs.... will the tank be ok until I can get there at 8 or 9, or should i make the special trip? | |

I think the trip will do very good. Even if the crabs eat up all the fish, their still gonna produce waste wsich is amonia, wich is bad for a reef tank. I would do my best to remove them so that i dont endanger the rest of the tank. What a nightmare.

Hey Justine,
Sorry to hear about your troubles, I promise tanks aren't usually this stressful.
Get the dead ones out asap. If the crabs rip them up it will be harder to remove them and the tank will spike.

Well, I went back over and dug out the dead fish, only two dead ones! Thankfully. He's got about 35 fish and a whole sh*^ load of Coral, and anenomes so thank god none of those died. Unfortanetly, it was the two coolest looking fish in the tank. I feel bad, but, who knows, the pump could've died anytime. No anenomes have died, the two star fish, the sea cucumber and all the little snails are still alive. So far, everything else looks good, just those two fish that couldn't make it.
No luck getting a hold of Dad because him and Mom are on a cruise ship on their way to the Bahams... anywho, I think the worst part of this whole scenario is, 4 months ago during their last cruise, my grandfather died. I think my parents need to stop taking cruises... what do you think?
I still want to take some pictures and post them so you all can see his tank and see why I was fretting so bad about losing it all.
I still can't thank you all enough for you concerns and pointers. Thanks a million. | |

You need to address the problem of water quality and parameters as well as the pump problem. Without proper water quality, you will continue to lose fish!
Test the water and add carbon as well as perform a water change to improve your water quality!

Make sure you check on the tank tomorrow because your fathers water parameters may be spiking right now and you may have more causalities and you want them out of the water ASAP so the water can stabilize. | |
