ok so havn't had a good week and a half. I have had a lot of fish die,

4-5 clown loaches
3 elephant nose fish
1 cory and another 1 on the way as I speak
1 large female bristlenose plec
1 small gold severum

pretty gutted that this is happening and I dunno what is causing it. I cleaned my tank sunday and have had to clean it today again but just realised this morning I forgot to turn my heater back on yet again. Also my albino cory has had a large fungis bit on his head for about 2 weeks. I put salt in hoping it would clear it up but before I knew it my fish were dropping like flies so i put fungis treatment in on sunday and my fish are still dying. I have another 4 loaches not looking so good but hoping they will make it through. The fungis on the cory didnt go down the slightest between sunday and today its actually gotten bigger. Is it possible that the fungis is poisoning my water or something or is it due to to much salt. I'm guessing between sunday and today my fish have died because the heater has been turned of.

Also I dunno where to put my filter, I have a tetra tec ex700 filter. I have the spray bar at 1 side and the intake pipe at the other. Now I wanna add my power filter in again ( had it in until sunday to see how the external would cope on its own, result is a load of mouldie food ). My question is do I put the power filter under the spray bar or next to the intake pipe? I had it under the spray bar before and it done ok but just asking incase the suction from the power filter interacts with the suction from the external and makes them work less or something, but then if i put it at the other side both sprays will hit each other so i dunno wat to do. somebody help ASAP pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

many thanks
 
How many gallons or litres is the tank.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Corys don't tolerate salt to well and should only use small doses of salt with scaless fish.

If the fungus is like cotton wool you need bacterial meds for columnaris.
