I'm so sorry to hear about your losses!! I saw this thread because I'm using Vibrant right now for a hair algae problem, with no issues so far. I will certainly keep a good eye on everything!

I thought it was the same tank.Did you see this thread? Somebody else recently had a similar incident.
Vibrant gone terribly wrong
I had used Vibrant and it caused a huge ammonia Spike. Killing all my fish in under 2hrs. ( My daughter's thread as it was happening https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/help-vibrant-for-reef-aquariums.668454/) After weeks and lab testing Jeff over at UWC has not been able to tell me why this...www.reef2reef.com
Ahhhh so it is. Didn't catch the link there to the other thread, as it was by a different member. Gotcha.I thought it was the same tank.
Sorry for your losses.what caused the fish to die was an rapid and extreme ammonia spike, after we pulled the fish out we tested the water and the ammonia level was roughly 0.5ppm-1.0ppm
so it technically wasnt an "oxygen" issue per-say.
UWC said the only time theyve run into something like this is when there are toxic dinos or toxins held within the algae, and that our tank probably also had toxins within the algae's.
but im still confused about what caused the ammonia to spike like that.
