Question
Hi i am mike and i have a my saltwater fish tank for about 4 months and hadnt had any problems until now.  My tank is 45 gallons and have live rock in it and some other non live products.  I had a clownfish, 2 damsels, a blenny, and 2 angels in it one of my angels died without any signs and two days later another angel died following the blenny I only have 3 fish left and five crabs and this morning i noticed something growing on the fake decorations and around the glass it looks like small white particles growing almost like sand and its everywhere i do not know what this means and i am going to change my water but would like to know if i am doing something wrong

Answer
