About five days before this happened I accedently over dosed red slime remover (I dosed for about 30 gallons) thinking that it would just get rid of my red slime faster. Then five days later (5-4-2020) my black ice clownfish has stopped eating and is heavily breathing Most of the time she was on the sand bed resting but unfortunately she has now passed away so the next morning I wake up feed the tank and my six line is dead lying on the sand bed and my gladiator clownfish was now heavily breathing which up to today is still heavily breathing and not eating so then I realize that it could be my overdose on redslime remover so what I did was put all my live stock into a bucket full of emergency salt water which was at 1.024
And it had a heater and a circulation pump and yes I did acclimate temperature acclimation and just slowly added a bit of water into the zip lock bag I had them in for acclimation so then about 15 minutes later I had them In to the bucket by just transferring them not any water by picking them up with my hand and putting them into the bucket so then once everything was good with that I started draining my tank took All the rock and bleached it and put it into a bucket with seacheam prime to remove any excess chlorine and tested the water till there was no chlorine which was about a minute after adding the prime conditioner then I took all of my sand out and rinsed that out and did the same with all the equipment filter and pumps so then I replaced my original background with a black one and used the sea view adhesive and put the rinsed out sand in then put in the rocks which have only been bleached for a couple of hours but look brand new then I put a new glass thermometer from Petco with the suction cup then put all filtration in I replaced all the media except for the chemical pure and have put the skimmer in place but have not started it up yet and plan not to till about a week or two then after that I used fritz aquatics salt mix the regular one to mix about 20 gallons of salt at about 1.025 specific gravity then added slowly into the tank with a plastic bag to reduce cloudiness then plugged in the heater and the power head and filter but not the skimmer then I added fritz aquatics turbo start 900 zyme to jump start my tank then waited 5 minutes for it to settle then started to drip acclimate for about 15 Minutes then added the fish in with my hands to avoid cross contamination and added the rest of the live stock the same way then the next morning my clownfish is still not eating at all not eating pellet food live brine shrimp or even frozen brine which he usually goes crazy for and he is still breathing heavily and my mandarin dragonete is now perfectly healthy about a couple hours later added a black occellaris and a Royal grama and a banded trochas snail which are perfectly healthy I dripped acclimated the for about 15 minutes with a bubbler now my gladiator clownfish has went from the sand bed to my skimmer which is where he usually is and is still breathing quickly. Could anyone help
