help me please

[niger trigger]

I am still a beginner If anyone can give any suggestions i would appreciate it. I just lost all my fish I whent on vacation came back and they were really sick and died. I have had my fish tak for 4 months and was doing great. I cleaned my tank really good and washed all the fake coral, not my live rock. I waited for a week and put in a niger trigger fish. It did ok for 3, and it got cloudy eyes and would not eat, I don't know what to do i don't want to put any more fish until I know it is good for my fish don't want any more fish to die. I am still treating my 100 gallon tank, some tablets that my fish store sold me.What should I do.
Thanks
Vicente

If you have only had the tank 4 months and had the fish 3 months
you may have got in to big a rush to put in the fish?
A tank needs time to mature.

Whit did you do for the tank while you was on vacation
did you have someone looking out for it [you]

Have you got test kits [ Ammonia - Nitrite - Nitrate - Ph ]

First thing you have to do for someone to help you is run your test
to find out if you have a water problem

I went by the guidlines the pet store gave me. I have a test kit all my leverls are cheking out good. I even took it the pet store were i get my fish and they checked everythign as well and sait it was good. I even now the water is testing at normal levels. I had food pre packaged in amounts for my cousing so all he had to do was put the food in on a daily basis, and would not over feed the fish. I had a stripped puffer, 1 yellow tang, 1 black voliten-lion fish. The niger trigger was added after i talk to the people at the fish store and they looked at the water and said that it would be ok to add him tothe tank. I added the fish at different times so I would not stress the other fish by putting to many at one time.
ph 8.3
amonia-0
nitrite-0
nitrate- 10
salineti-.0121

IMO, you got a sick fish(possibly with an internal parasite) whatever it was, it was enough to infect rather quickly. Your tank may be hosed for the potential of a future reef due the the med use( what kind... any copper???). Aside from my opinion, Jerry's got the rest covered. Good luck and welcome to Captive Reefing!!!
