Its very sad about your losses. Reintroduce new livestock slowly. It looks like you are on the right track ensuring the longevity of your next inhabitants.

Yes very sad indeed I'll be heading out to find a blenny and goby this afternoon. I might try a pleco but im not sure how effective they will be.

thanks. Yeah my first instinct is to replace everything but then im alittle gunshy after loosing so much $ and fish. I'm planning to buy a blennnie and goby this afternoon. I'm considering a pleco, but I'm not too sure how effective they will be.

Aren't Plecos freshwater fish?

Sorry for your losses. Restock slowly. As well, before you spend a mint in new livestock, I would invest in an RO/DI unit. That may solve most of your algae issues.
