i am sorry to hear that.
you are lack of experience + knowledge as i saw the time and routine u put LS. i am sure ur new in this hobby. do have some research and readings also understanding of marine life before start ur tank.
if want to give up then i think better go for fresh water. less complicated and less cost.
as an advice better let the fish go back to papa and mama
dont misunderstood.
*
haha....yea yea .....coz salt water fish b4 u go for it ...do research .....
coz saltwater fish is big different with clear water ......
if anything u juz ask .....we can help u in here .....
