Nice start.
Although it will be easier to read if you punctuate a little better. Not trying to be a jerk, just constructive.

had a tragedy this weekend in the 72 lost 12 fish and the tank due to a seal going nothing like waking up to the sound of glass breaking and water on the floor at 330 am saved all the coral fish just couldn't adjust to the 40 gallon breeder that is currently holding the stuff from the 155 sad weekend

Sorry to hear about that. You will bounce back this is just a minor setback.
