You say " almost all died". When did you start this tank and how did you cycle it and how long did you cycle it?I just started saltwater fish tank a few weeks fish were doing fine and then this week almost all died I have 2 left from 8 that I had
That could be it. I cycled the water for 24hrs. And I was feeding fish 3 times a dayI’m betting on high ammonia as it sounds like you set up a new tank and didn’t allow it to cycle enough to handle the fish load .

I bought ocean water didn't know I had to test it. I'll put up results from test kit I bought in a fewDid you test the water before adding fish?
Will do thanksDo a search on tank cycling, you were not ready for fish

A lot longer than 24 hrs . You mistook cycling for circulating . Please don’t buy any more fish , inverts or coral . If you can see if your lfs that you purchase them from can hold them until your tank is ready .That could be it. I cycled the water for 24hrs. And I was feeding fish 3 times a day

29 gal beginner tankyou went way too fast. I didn't add my first fish until 3 weeks...... 8 fish in a 3 week old tank is too fast.
