Could be that Sphelps is feeling a bit touchy these days after getting jumped on about his filefish!
There is therapy in sharing your misery when something goes wrong. Nobody but us appreciates the loss. Try telling your boss that you are going to take a day off to deal with something urgently wrong with your fish tank...

Ya ok...all **** aside...i was venting at the time, now real interested in finding out what happened. I guess all i gotta break it all down to figure out where to start first...all seemed normal before lights out. All fish are dead ...is the water dead so to speak, do i start from very bottom or can i save the water and developed sandbed??? I have some zoas, about 30 or so different mushrooms...pumping xenia and some sps...hope to save them at least!

I would start by testing temperature and salinity although temperature at this point may not be accurate. So all fish dead? Coral still alive? Could be oxygen. What we need is details regarding your setup:
Tank size Equipment livestock what you know so far for parameters All that fun stuff. Equipment failure or negligence is usually the cause if such an incident. The key here would be to figure out what happened, fix it and learn from it so it doesn't happen again not just starting over.

I agree with sphelps.
If you had a sudden total fish loss after simply adding a fish it is likely that for some reason the temperature got too high or too low. If your tank is small and the oxygen level borderline, adding a tang, other than a small one would do it. What was the water temperature when you discovered the loss? Do you have critters in your tank that would set off toxins? Boxfish, sea apple etc.
