Have a 13.5 gallon Fluval that’s been up for almost 2 years.

Today I decided to get a new fish a lawnmower Blenny. Have a little green hair algae issue and thought he might help.

After drip acclimating and getting ready to add him to the tank I completely forgot my procedure to “qaurantine” without quarantining….

I usually freshwater dip him for a couple minutes salt water dip and then put in. But today my dumb dumb head just decided to dump him and the LFS water in there….

Few hours later tanks looking good.

Even later around 2am I notice the tank getting cloudy.

I immediately get a little stressed. I have water made up so I grab a bucket and start a 50% water change. Replaced my gfo and carbon.

If I remember right the fish store has copper in the water.

My anemones are all very angry.

Now I go to bed and keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Pray for me fellas
 
With enough water changes, you should be good!
