Let's start with ALL my fish died 2 days ago

Which is my fault. Long story short, my electricity went out due to a bus hitting the electricity pole. My sump flooded and I didn't have time to get to the fish store. So my sump WAS NOT running for 2 days. My power heads were going though!!

I was not using my head and I put a lot of oyster feast stuff for my anemones. (Bubble and long tentacle). I also put some ALK, CAL, AND ALGAEMILK STUFF.

The next morning my chromis and mandarin goby were dead. Also my shrimp died!!! I tested my water with test strips and my ALK is high and PH is good. I don't have test kits to check it I only have the strips. So I don't really trust it.

Any idea what is going on?

I'm new to this and my tank has been running for 3 1/2 months.
 
Perhaps lack of sufficient O2 from that food being broken down. Seems like the powerheads should have been adequate, however.

pH and alkalinity and calcium issues won't kill fish, barring crazy things like pouring acids into the tank.

What is Algaemilk?
