In the last couple of days my tangs have been swimming with their tails up and have quit eating, the other fish are swimming ok but have stopped eating too. I have a 150 gal salt and 1000 watts of light. I have no idea why they are doing this. I have a couple of urchins and a couple of cucs. My 2 star fish have already died and I did a 50% water change to get rid of that mess but what do I do for the fish?

It's almost imposible to tell what's wrong with your fish without ALOT more info than you have given ( H2O params, type of tang, how old your tank is etc....). I would suggest reading the "rules for posting" in the marine fish disease forum and then posting your question there. You will get much more help there than here.

I think I found the problem......... my hydrometer was fallty. When I put a new one in the tank, it read 3 buckets off of water off,making the salt way to high when the other hydrometer that I had been using , read right on. When I put in the needed water, the firsh started swimming and eating again and still seem to be ok, a few days later
