They are. The wrasse likes to hang out by the HOB (top left corner) for a little bit then swim around. He should be asleep in the sand but he’s not so I’m worried about him.Sounds to me like they are doing better. I pray that they are safe. It is odd that they were affected by a water change though.
That is good to hear, now that your tank is safe I am sure you will find the rest you need. Just a thought did you when you did your first water change touch anything that might have hade a chemical residue left on it. For example just had dinner and you cleaned up the counters or stove top, washed your hands with soap, or took a shower?I am extremely delighted to report that the remaining fish were saved. I am sad that I lost the blue devil damsel but I will take 1 loss over many.
I have absolutely zero idea what caused this emergency as it was solved with 15 gallons of water changed. I did not deviate from my standard water change practices. I will be looking at how to connect an RODI unit to my shower head water connection in order to actually have RODI.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my emergency last night. My sleep was short and I will have a rough day at work but I will take it to make sure the tank lives.
I don’t think so, however, I wouldn’t rule that out. I did shower around 12 noon and did the water change around 2-3pm. Could that have been it? Maybe I didn’t use enough seachem prime or forgot to dose a bucket. I know my local water has a ton of chloramine/chlorine because I can smell it as it degasses off the water in the bucket.That is good to hear, now that your tank is safe I am sure you will find the rest you need.

I feel like my tank is in a significantly better position. I got home today and everyone was out and about. My once shy Midas blenny is now an avid current surfer where before he’d stay in his rock. It was scary when it happened but now I’m purely relieved.I would say it might have been, I know that some people are pretty diligent about making sure that they wash their hands and then they rinse very well with distilled or RODI water. I was reading ( I'm not sure the thread anymore) about a method where you wash your hands and then rinse with water, then rinse with white vinegar, then rinse with RODI water. To me that sounds a bit over kill unless I was working with cleaners or something. regardless I am really glad that the tank is doing well and all the other fish survived. Best of luck with the tank bud.
Where would that expiration date be on the bottle? I saw “106019” on the bottleWas the bottle expired or something?
I’ve actually read that thread! I’ll have to try this out now after this experience.I would cease using that product immediately. Here is a well vetted alternative:
