Lesson Learned and a warning

[BCOrchidGuy]

Sorry folks just for clarity, I didn't start removing fish until I was loosing fish, it all happened very quick and all but a couple were covered in white salt like spots. My list of dead fish accounts for the fish lost over the last two days as well, after re reading my post I can see it looks like I lost them all at once but this isn't the case. The hospital tank was filled with water right out of the main aquarium, the salinity was lowered over about 3 hours. The greenex shouldn't have been a big stress as I did treat the reef tank with it but when I found the first dead couple of fish I decided to get them all out immediately.

Now, the tank is back together, I am running carbon and a diatom filter, my new skimmer is removing some of the old Greenex and crap. I've vacuumed the gravel and am comfortable that the tank is pretty clean. I will be doing 3 or more 10 gallon water changes over the next day or two, I may just do 5 seeing as my salt is only $15 a bag now.

Yeah it sure sucks, maybe I did over react but I don't believe I did, by the time the tomato/cinnamon was caught and the live blue sided fairy wrasse they were both completely covered in spots and they were shedding their slime coat. FWIW, I was feeding frozen brine with Garlic Extreme, like I say it all happened really quick.

That all being said, I found a amazing Desjardin Sailfin tang today, it is in a 10 gallon tank BY ITSELF, I've got Sea Chem cupramine here just incase and I got my Diatom filter back from loan (for almost a year). I think I am set. No fish will go into my main tank now until it has been in a quaranteen tank for 30 days or 30 days since last treatment. I love my tank but I don't look forward to another 13 hour renovation of the tank.
