That uses lanthanum chloride which is potent stuff. If you are using half the dose on the direction, it just seems odd that it would kill the tang. I'm not sure if it affects oxygen levels. I have used the swimming pool stuff that has a high concentration of the LC it never had any adverse reaction with my fish.
