Default warning!

Last night I had a sick fish problem... He died this morning
I did a nice water change last night... Added some marine conditioner because I didn't have the room water at the time
Instant ocean.

Not sure if I added to much... But as soon as I put the water in all my corals started acting funny. And closing and loosing all there water could see there skeleton

Today every single thing in my aquarium is melting.

My tank water is cloudy...

Adding some carbon.. I guess..
I don't even want to look at this tank the wrong way let alone touch it anymore.

I would guess yes, there is something wrong with your water. Large water changes (assuming the new water is adjusted to the tank parameters to avoid shock) are recommended.

Default Sigh

Test all 0,0,0 a/n/n

This is crazy my tank was top notch a week ago...
When i put the new water in all my corals reacted instantly.
Mushrooms sucked in, brain collapsed, zoas blew up then closed.
Frog spawn blew up all weird then sucked in..

I put five fresh cups of carbon in.. I don't even care if it bleachs stuff now just want together what ever it is out!

What size is the tank and what kind of carbon did you use? You said after the water change everything went downhills, now I would hold off on the water change for now and check if any airborne chemical was used near the tank or the water changing station. Also how's the tank temperature?

Did you have any un- knowledgeable visitors who love to extra feed the fish or spray clean the area around your tank?
Maybe with Calgary heat within the last week got to your tank..

Same carbon doesn't really help...

Salinity seen to be a bit high, what do you use to test that?

I run a apex, so I know it's not temperature shifts
... Maybe it's screwing up my head and leading to errors in my maintenance.
