What Levi's getting at is that a yellow tang shouldn't really be in a tank that small...they need swimming room...and lots of it. Doesn't matter if he's small, it's best to get it into a longer and larger tank. It will help him a lot and the other inhabitants as well.....

Not really "overstocked" but take a look at this,
 Your missing about 70G of swimming space. Levi Quote:

Thing is I"m in on a 9th floor apartment building... ahh i'm gonna have to pull some strings to get a bigger tank up here.
a 72 gallon with less rock would be okay yes? What about the pinstripe wrasses seizure? is that also due to a lack of space, are they having mental breakdowns or something? ahh i feel awful.

my pH seems a bit low
Porcelain crabs: * Temperature of water: Seventy-two to seventy-eight degrees Fahrenheit. * Specific gravity of water: 1.023 to 1.025. * pH of water: 8.10 to 8.40. what's the best way to keep my pH up?

could any of your equipment be shorting out? Stray voltage will make a fish spaz.

as BorderJumper said - I woujld check my heater first....make sure it is not broken!
Otherwise, I know that my foxface goes CRAZY!!!! if I approach the aquarium with an orangy/yellow tshirt!!! he would behave just as you've described! So I leant not to get close to my tank if I wear yellow or orange colours! who would have thought that they see in colour?!?!?!? I also don't think that your fishes' seizures are related to the deaths of your crabs. I keep my pH at 8.2-8.3 when the lights are off....

I would have to agree that a re-homing of the yellow tang, or an upgrade is probably the best thing for the fish.....What brand and how old are your test kits? It does kinda sound like you may have stray voltage "leaking" into the tank. Crappy Tire sells small volt-meters for about $15 that can test that for you.
