Need HELP!!!!


I have a 20g Nano reef tank. 6 weeks old. Cycled for a month. 2 water changes since. 4 damsels, 2 feather dusters, 1 sebae, 2 clowns and some zoanthids. I used 40lbs of LS and 30lbs of LR. I woke up this morning and my fish were gasping for air at the top of the tank. A few died before I could get to them. I tested my water levels:
PH- 8.0 Ammonia- 0 Nitrite- 0 Nitrate- 0 I would go to my LFS but he gives me the feeling that he just wants to sell and doesnt care. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When was your last water change? Are your corals/inverts affected at all, or just your fish?

just my fish. 1 died and the other two are bagged up in fresh water. I picked up a poly filter and added a bubbler. Hopefully this works.
