Have a 60 gallon reef newish 2 perc clowns, three cromies, 1 yellow jaw fish, 1 blue spot watchman goby, 1 yellow tang and a kole tang. Plus the usual suspects in the cleaning crew.
Had a sea cucumber die, don't know for how long. Now the cromies are acting nuts, they swim in starts and stops, hide against rocks ( never have done this) breaking the water surface. the yellow tang is flying around the tank. I think the cucumber nuked the tank. I'm changing 18 gallons tomorrow. Have a sun sun canister with 265 gah flow and a big honking bag of activated charcoal. How screwed am I? I have zero idea how long the cucumber has been dead but it was about a quarter of its living length and white when I took it out. Dead at least 2 days. How much water should I change out? Should I migrate my fish temporarily to a little 5 gallon current led tank I have 2 other clowns in or should I just fill a bucket and put them in there with a penguin filter for some time? No ideas? Sorry for rambling its 2 am and I'm worried about a couple hundred dollars of fish.
