Tank in crisis

502 this is wrong spot for (id). ..but they look like gsp to me . .greenstarpolyps... anyways I'm glad to hear the problem with tank is under control
 
I'm sorry for your losses. Bacterial blooms can consume up all the oxygen in the tank rather quickly. I would add a few bubblers, aim a powerhead up at the surface, run carbon to help soak up any toxins released by stressed corals and what not, and start doing water changes. Good luck and keep us updated!
 
Quick update. Bacterial seems to be on the ropes (hair algae sparked up, inverts were killed in the bloom but were replaced on Friday. Fish are holding on, still a little stressed. Water quality is improving, Added a Zeolite reactor (was actually on order before the bloom) so managing through that with reduced start instructions (I can't add the amount of bacteria they are recommending after getting through this problem, I just can't slow and steady is the way to go)

Will add a few small fish tonight or tomorrow, and if all goes well we have coral frags (Softies & Zoas) and inverts (Anemones) due on Saturday and start to rebuild
