Hello All!

Wow! Surprised on the response time here!
As a newbie, I built the tank and have been following the 5 minute reef guide on YouTube. Feel like everything had been going smooth until two weeks ago. Added two clown fish, a sail fin tang, and some kind of dottyback. The tang ended up dying on me a week after I got the lawnmower blenny .

Sorry to hear about your tang. I know they can cost a pretty dime for one.
There's been a rash of fish diseases lately. Velvet, ick, flukes, brooklynella to name a few. Post some pics of the fish and someone is sure to chime in and help with diagnosis and treatment.

So I’m pretty sure my lawnmower killed him. He was pretty territorial over a cave where the tang used to like to hang out. I noticed he started acting weird around the blenny and eventually I found him dead :(

Picked up a 60.2 Waterbox off FB Marketplace. Figured I'd say hello!

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you, if Cypress is in USA:
