I would recommend angling the power head on the left in a way that it flows across the top of the rocks should do good with the higher flow requiring corals and provide enough flow to the rest of the tank without being too much.

Ok. So did the to much water flow kill my fish?

Its possible. It's also possible the hawkfish was bullying them. Definitely do the camera test to see if its the case

Okay I shall do that probably while I’m at school
 
Sounds like disease killed your fish. You've mentioned flukes and ich and adding new fish all with a small amount of time. I'm struggling to understand the concern about flow. Coincidence that adding more flow happened to be when the fish died but my thoughts are this tank has disease that hasn't been addressed. Were the fish quarantined before being added? Can you separate the corals from the fish to treat?

That is a very good point. I had forgotten he mentioned that.

Yeah the thing is all my fish died but they hawk fish didn’t, sadly I can’t separate the corals from the fish but I’m just going to wait time for the disease dies

If the hawkfish starts showing signs of disease i would set up a hospital tank. Best not to treat the main tank as you could end up with resistant strains of the disease.

Without a quarantine/hospital tank unfortunately you're always going to be in this cycle potentially when you bring in a new fish. I know you're banking on the fact that one fish didn't die but as you mentioned the four other fish did die. Those were attributed to disease.

Okay, my dad has a 125-gallon tank maybe I can put them in there for now, but one of the polyps has connected o the rocks, so I probably cant do that, I will see, thank you for the comments
