Its deadThe big sailfin fish the tang is that ok...
Buy your self or go to a LFS, Petco, Feeders Supply and test for oxygen. Should be at least 8.Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 50ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
This is my report .. how do i know if its lack of oxygen ?
how close did u spray to the tank?OMG yes... i sprayed insect killer areosol in the nearby to to kill insect...will that b the reason

It was sprayed a lot in near by room , but my aquarium have top closing case with only exhaust fanHow much was sprayed and how close was it? Some of these insect killers are extremely lethal to fish.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You need to slow down.
My advice:
If there's anything still alive in the tank, do it a favor and give it back to the store where you purchased it.
Let the tank sit with no livestock for 4 months. It's a 170g tank, so change about 20g of water once a month. Run the lights as normal, as if the tank had corals and fish in it. Don't add any fish or animals. Don't add any corals. Just see if you can get it balanced and stable first.
After 4 months, test your water parameters and start a new thread to discuss.
I know some people are going to say that's crazy or stupid. Let's see if we can get a tank full of water stabilized and get some coraline algae growing first. No sense killing more innocent animals and tossing money down the drain. Back to basics -- stabile tank parameters first--- for as long as it takes to get stable. Then ONE step forward. Not 8 steps in a month. ONE.
This is so sad for me to read. It's not necessary to go about all this senseless killing of animals. You can't kill enough and eventually the strong ones will show up and survive. You have to get a stable tank first and then go very slowly. This poster started the first post about finishing the cycle in June 2018. Here we are 3 months later -- not 4 -- THREE months later and we have numerous dead animals - random dosing of chemicals with no idea why or what they do or how they react.
Want to start another thread and see if you get any better answers from that one? (SMH)

AND WE WONDER WHY PEOPLE ARE SOOO AFRAID TO POST ISSUES ON THIS FORUM....YOUR STATEMENTS ARE VERY UNNECASSARY.
Buy your self or go to a LFS, Petco, Feeders Supply and test for oxygen. Should be at least 8.
Still need a oxygen test but check your PH if its low that may be a sign. Also Calcium and Alkalinity will all be affected. My ALK was sky high 14 and all my Acroporia was loosing flesh I could not figure out why my alk was so high and calcium so low.
Oxygen does not have anything to do with your pH or alkalinity.
Carbon dioxide plays a part, you can have high CO2 effect those levels but it does not tell you anything about your oxygen levels.
Many people make this mistake, I think because we think about the relationship between O2 and CO2 in our breathing but that's not what's going on in our tanks.
I'm not saying you didn't have low oxygen, only that it is unrelated to alkalinity and pH
levels/issues.
