I suggested it because we have no information on why his fish died (other than ich).  All parameters are good now, so the only way I know of to find out what is happening is to get more data on what happens when a fish is added.

However I know you have much more experience, and may figure it out with what we have, so that is great!!

I actually did test the Ph this morning and it was at 8.2. I can get pics up tonight. It is an open top as far as a cover that was mentioned. Is there a specific rock mark that you need to see or just the left side in general?

I know I'm slacking on the pictures but here's an update. Algae is 95% gone. This is great! I would love to add a couple clowns. Would that be to much in the situation I'm in? Iv had clowns in the system before and did great but I traded them in. What your opinion. Thanks guys!!

I thought you could not keep a fish alive in the tank for more than 2 days?  If you want any help in the matter, you have to share more information with us. 

1- give a complete history of the tank, including fish/corals added, and how long they lived and what hapened to them.  Also any changes you have made to the tank, what conditions were like.  If you don't give us details we cannot help.

2- post some pictures of rock, sand, sump, (every detail helps)

3- give us all current water parameters

Without that we are just guessing.

A clear pic of the left side of the tank is what I was asking for. I want to see that LR because it may hold a clue to the fish mortality problem. I feel David's frustration. Please provide more information. We really can resolve this problem, but not without your help.
