things are dieing!

[cuz]

I assume you've tested all your water?

anything out of whack?

possible anything was introduced to the tank without knowing so? i find kids and drunk friends are a reef's worst enemy!!

What type of ich treatment did you use?

[Kimmy101]

The brand name is Nox-Ich.

If Nox-ich is malachite green based (which I'm pretty sure it is) it is deadly to inverts.

I'm not familiar with the brand but I do know alot of the ich treatments kill inverts and corals when we treated ich we used "ich attack" and that one is reef safe I would read your bottle and see what it says

[cordeiro]

Was just reading up on noxich an it is not reef safe it will kill inverts and corals so I would go with that's what happened to the tank

time to throw it all out and start over.
The chemical has probably leached into the rocks. you'll never get it all out.
Might leach into the silicone too.
Unless you want to go fish only, that tank is done.

Nox-Ich is malachite green based. While it does not contain copper (C23H5N2) is is harmful to inverts. The problem you have on your hands right now is the chain reaction caused by the death of the livestock and the spike in toxicity. If you have another tank you might want to move your remaining livestock to a temporary home while you deal with the problem tank. If your main tank is small you might be wise to gut it just to be on the safe side. If you are still unsure about the copper thing I have a copper test kit that you are welcome to borrow (just pm me). Hopefully you have caught the problem in time to prevent any more death.
