A lot of you were kind enough to help me out earlier in regards to trying to save my conspicuous angel. Unfortunately, he has passed. I was able to remove him from the tank, so he passed away safely in a bucket out of the system. Here's my question, given that I've had two deaths in here that obviously could be related to fluctuating levels with medicating, etc,, besides the lymphocytes that were on the conspicuous, which led to opportunistic bacterial issues for future use, should I completely break down this quarantine and start over, remove all the live rock sand, etc, or should I continue my Cipro regimen and eliminate the bacteria and let the tank stabilize? There is two clownfish in there that are perfectly fine

Have no Live rock or sand in the QT system and avoid mixing medications. Monitor with reliable test kits such as Hanna or Salifert brands and add air stone during treatment,
 
definitely pulling all of that out, but considering there were two deaths in the last 48 hours in the system, would you say a reset is warranted or finish the Cipro regimen and let the tank stabilize
