You're welcome to ask as many questions as you want.

I'm more than a little concerned about your tanks. I've seen several photos now and wonder the following:

1) Who or what is guiding you on how to keep marine fishes?
2) Do you have books or an experienced person helping you?

The reason I ask the above is that from all you've provided in the way of photos and information, indicates that your fish are in trouble.

The fish you have belong only in a mature aquarium (an aquarium that is very old). More information on this, here: The Mature Aquarium

The tanks you have shown are not right for the fish that are in them. The fish are seriously stressed. The Emperor Angelfish has at least a bacterial infection to go along with a possible other group of problems.

Water quality and tank age and less than average care is causing most of the problems you are seeing in the fishes. The best thing to do is stop! Go slowly. One fish at a time AFTER the tank is properly setup and running.

You should read this closely: Setting Up a FOWLR Aquarium

There are many ways to setup a marine aquarium system. From the attachment, it looks like you are planning to have an undergravel filtration system. Is this true? This type of system is very much outdated and although it still works, it requires a lot of maintenance. The references I provided can give you some other ideas.

Probably the most important part of the marine aquarium system is your plan. You may want to sit and draw a diagram of how the water will circulate and flow in the system. Show where you will put your filter; your skimmer; system pumps; etc. With such a large aquarium, it would be good to have a sump where most of the equipment can be hidden. For a fish only display, you may wish to consider having a refugium. All these are explained in books and experienced people, and websites such as Reefland and others.

Many USA and Canadian hobby suppliers will ship overseas. You should check out some of the Reefland sponsors and find those that will ship overseas, then look over their book selections. You want a book that will be easy for your to read, thorough yet not too complex.

This thread lists some books: http://www.reefland.com/forum/saltwa...ish-books.html

Some basic books that I think a person who does not speak English very well, but who can read English, would be:
The Marine Aquarium by Nick Dakin; and
The New Marine Aquarium by Michael S. Paletta

The above books are relatively easy to read with good diagrams and examples of different aquarium systems.

Your best way forward is to be as informed as you can be. Then, I think your love of the hobby will pay off!

Is there any way you can find another home for the fishes you have? Maybe return them for store credit?
