Help! I was out of town for the holidays (~10 days, never again!) and came back to an angry tank. I lost a peppermint shrimp, cleaner shrimp, yellow tang and lawnmower blenny (my first & all time favorite ).
I brought a water sample to the local aquatic shop and they said everything was fine aside from my phosphates (super high @ 0.73) and my iodide levels were essentially clear (my roommate added way too much "reef iodide - liquid iodide additive - seachem") right before we left.
I've now done 3 decently sized water changes (1 per week and planning on another this weekend) and my toadstool and duncan are still looking pretty haggard. Are they dead or dying? Is there any way to bring them back at this point? Any kind of advice would be soooo appreciated!!
For reference the first two photos of both are "pre-holiday".
