I have a 75 gal. Aquarium that I have been running for about 8 months. I had five fish doing pretty well I decided to get a red flame angel and a lemon peel angel. They died after 2 weeks. I then got a goby and 2. CLeaner shrimp the next day my 2 clown fish died. Any ideas on what is happening. I like this hobby but I’m starting to get a little discouraged. Please any info will be appreciated

As far as water parameters I keep a close eye on it salinity is 35 ppt, ph 8.0, and temp 78 deg. I had 4 fish for about 4 months. 2. Clown fish 1 diamond goby, and a blue tang. 3 weeks ago I decided to get a flame angel and a lemon peel angel they both died after 2 weeks they seemed fine next day I couldn’t find. Then the following week I decided to get 2 cleaner shrimp and a colored goby. The next day I couldn’t find the 2 original clowns and my diamond goby. I’m very infused on what could be causing this. Do cleaner shrimp hurt fish if so I’ll get rid of them.
 
Unfortunately it sounds like one of the newer acquisitions that you made introduced either a parasite or a disease.
Did you happen to see any outward signs on the deceased fish? Such as white spots or inflamed gills?
To try and avoid this in the future, a quarantine tank would be your best course of action.
