Oh I'm really sorry to hear that. It's odd to me that they reacted so negatively to dish soap but my tank was completely OK. Again, sorry to hear that. Yeah, just do water changes as quickly as you can . Do you have enough RO/DI on have to do a 100% WC? If you are really losing fish rapidly, even a 100% WC with dechlorinated tap water might be worth a try.

Good luck,

My black & black storm clownfish seem to be doing fine. I put them all in qt bucket as I’m dealing with my main aquarium dish soap issue. I should have 30g RO/DI water by to night to another water change.

How much dish soap went into the 40 gallons? For how long?

The amount is is unknown, but the time was about couple of hours before I realized it.

Wow sorry to hear this

It happened to me with a bottle of Vinegar that I had sitting near the sump. My elbow hit it when I was reaching for the container to dilute it with and the open bottle dropped in the sump. Luckily Vinegar is not as big an issue as soap but these accidents do happen.
