    My gorgeous bi color angel died today :'( I checked all my parameters and everything is where its supposed to be. Everything i get dies in under a month after getting it. I recently added a skimmer and a fuge. The only thing that will stay alive is my yellow tang. Could it be that? they never fought

    sorry for your loss, is your tank brand new or used?
    what kind of water do you use to make saltwater?
    what live stock have you been through already?

    It could be your LFS.. sometimes some LFS are just not that good..
    try a different LFS and see what happens

    My Potter, who was doing fine, got a little bloated and had "powdery" coating one evening. The NEXT morning dead....

    It sucks, I'm sorry for you.
