Rebuilding my 55 gallon tank after an accident. On Tuesday my 4 year old came and told me he "fed the fish" and dropped the container into the aquarium. We took the container out and scooped out food. I had a lot of running to do during the day and planned on a water change after I got back. When I got home and went to start the water change I had a lot of dead fish floating around. When I took the glass of the top if my tank I found a pack of silica that had been in the fish food container. It has sucked to the powerhead and poisoned the aquarium. I did have two fish that looked close to death
But not quite and I moved them into a nurse tank expecting them to die, but so far they are alive and well. So I have a clownfish and a cardinal bangai. I'm most devastated by the loss of my green mandarin. So today is the first day of the rebuild. Chose a new aquascape and layout. Now just getting ready for the long wait!
 
Oh my!! Sorry about the troubles that you are going through! Good luck with the rebuild and keep us posted of your progress!!
