what happened ah?
i lost a few hundred bucks worth of fishes overnight before too, due to tank break. arrggghhhh!!!
flooded hall also.
I still don't know what happened. I remember do 30% water change in the morning but after 12-13 hours later it happened. Could be ammonia spike....
Your aquarium no sand ah? How come the tank can break?

Cannot use la... Kitchen salt contained unwanted substances that kill your fish.. sometime they put MSG also..

What is your aquarium equipment? If that happened when you do Water Change, switch on you light, heat from light will faster the process.

Did you use phosphate remover? Remove your phosphate to zero... before algae bloom in your aquarium..
Clean your sand/live rock from uneaten food/waste.

Your light is normal.
What is your phosphate reading? If you list all the parameter is better..
Make sure there is no sand/debris on your live rock (if any) and clean your sand from uneaten/fish waste.
If algae is very critical, you need to overhaul your entire tank.
