Advice!! Spilled ORP Calibration Fluid

[kstraumi]

Came home from work to discover 3 colonies of SPS with RTN. 65gal volume. Emergency 15 gal water change; removed colonies, fragged healthy sections. Salvaged what I could. Frazzled and upset over what occurred, decided to quickly calibrate pH and ORP probes(running ozone), test for NO3/PO4, etc. Only have 20 gal cistern on hand; -used 5 gal for water change on my tank at work.

Trying to quickly get things done(mistake) because of other responsibilities in the evening to humans (not fish related), I spilled ORP calibration fluid into the tank…don’t ask.

Finished my testing and calibration. ZERO salt water left on hand. Came back 2 hours later: purple tang dead, desjardinii tang dead, fox face breathing heavy and angry brown, powder blue hiding, everyone else unknown. Flushed my dead crew.

Scrambled to kick on ozone; swap out for fresh carbon. Did I mention ZERO salt water left? Running water now…how jacked up am I?? Mixed reef SPS dominate, octospawn and shroom colonies, one goni colony.

Fish I can deal with; effects on the coral???
Please advise. And thank you for your time with my post.

First, I don't know the asnwer specifically.

It likely depends on the quantity of calibration fluid you spilled in to the tank.
