I'm new here but have had saltwater tanks my whole life. Yesterday my 3 yr old decided my tank needed a whole box of fish fry. All fish died, but Chico star,hermit crabs, turbo snail, and feather duster are still alive. I have done 2 water changes to try and clear it up. My question is this, is it a complete loss and have to start all over with new water and sand or can it be filtered out?
Help!!!!!

Dang. so sorry to hear.
Youll have to keep doing water changes or a very large one and run the filters as well.

You batter fish and fry the fish. Its a coating with seasoning.

I agree, I don't think there is anything in there that would prevent the tank from being usable. I think I would pull out the inverts and do a 90% water change. Unless you have coral.
Here is how to prevent this from happening on tanks that are out of reach but the stand is not.

I'm actually surprised it killed all your fish... How much water volume is involved? the ingredients don't look too bad, perhaps too acidic?
