And again, because I just wung this from the beginning, I have no idea what tests I should be doing and what kind of test kit to buy. I have always done my water changes though. What would be my best option? Also, Is my yellow tang suffering in any way by being "cooped" up in a 32 G then?
Thanks for all the advise. This site is great! And I would like to assure the guy wondering if I am some fake troll account trying to do something extraordinary besides obtaining advise on fish, that I am absolutely real and that I really really do just want fish advise!!!

Welcome to Canreef. What are all the types of fish you have? The tangs need to go for sure unless they are really small but even then they will need a bigger home down the road. As for testing for starters you need to test for Nitrate, Ammonia, and Nitrite.

Tangs need lots of swimming room, a tank that is 6 feet long is an ideal home for this type of fish. IMO a tang should not be in a tank less than 90g.

Shyte!
My yellow tang as far as I ever thought is quite small. About 2 inches long. The blue tang was about the same size and did grow a slight bit over the year. And like I said, the blue tang never did seem to have a problem in that small 15 gallon tank. I also have 2 clowns and 2 B/W damsels. 5 fish in total. One cleaner shrimp, and 5 snails. Also when I first started the hobby, the guy at the fish store said I should only keep the damsels for a short while because they will get aggressive. They did seem a little aggressive at first but they all seem to get along now. I tried to give them back to the store but they wouldn't take them. I kept them because I didn't want to kill them. Should I really get rid of them still and if so what could I replace them with? Should I just keep my yellow tang and hope for the best?

You don't have to take the fish back to the store you bought them at, some of the stores in town here will take fish or corals in on trade (depending on what they have in stock already) it's worth looking into. And as mentioned you could try posting them for sale/trade (or give away) in the buy/sell/trade livestock section. You should do some research on nano tanks. With the right info you can have a really nice little tank
