Thank you in advance for your Assitance.

I came down with a slight case of ich on my nano. No big deal been there, cured that, however I picked up some water for my hospital tank and my LFS gave me RO instead of salt.

Not to my knowledge at the time two clowns, a yellow tang, blue tang and coral beauty went into a freshwater hospital tank. I left for 2.5 hours and the two clowns died the rest of the fish were in severe distress. I yanked them and put them in my other tank they are holding on by a thread the yellow tang is actually ok.

anything I can do to help them out? Ideas are greatly appreciated.

Here's a thread with last ditch methods to try to save fish. Maybe some of them would be helpful. Especially slowly raising the salinity level from 1.010 ppm or so rather than dumping them into fully normal sea water salinity levels.

 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
