So about 3 weeks ago I noticed one of my 3 anemones not looking so good. A few days later I noticed it nearly melting. So I removed it's remains. Prior to that anemone dieing I was having cyano issues. I began my routine of water changing 5 gallons every other day, changed out my carbon and gfo just to be sure it's toxins didn't hurt anything.


2 weeks ago I noticed the 2nd of my 3 anemones starting to hide a lot. I continued my routine and started to see a few fish die. My diamond yellow goby, 2 anthias, snails and crabs.

So today I'm super nervous. But have continued the water changes to help battle any toxins and or cyano. I'm down to my 2 clown fish 4 blue green chromis and my blue hippo tang as well as my fairy wrasse. Also still have 3 peppermint shrimp these remaining fish seem happy and healthy as can be. My remaining anemone seems un happy but still alive and eating.

I feed reef frenzy 1 time a day at the moment to help kill cyano but I'm nervous this is the dreaded tank crash most people go through.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!
 
How big is the tank?
How long has it been setup?
Lighting?

That will be a start to some more details that will help.
