I haven't looked up the fish but i have looked up the coral. Why would they starve? I found out the dimensions of the tank. It is 48x20x15 thanks.

Okay what would be the average Length and width of a overflow for a 60g tank?

Madarins starve in aquariums because they're extremely picky about what they eat.

They usually feed off copepods & amphipods in the wild, but despite making sure there was a more than adequate supply in my mature tank, it still starved.

With those dimensions, your tank would be around 62g.

awesome. Thanks so any more things to add to my list. or anything wrong with it. (new one on pg 3) I am also getting a sump with it. The sump has the same dimensions. so my whole tank will be 122g

How was it set up before?

Is the tank drilled?

How many baffles are there in the sump?
