NO3 PO x overdose help!

[Rpd457]

I recently set up a doser on my 120 gallon reef tank. the timer was supposed to be set for 10 minutes a day but with a am /pm mixup it went on for 10 hrs! It dosed 500 ml of no3 pox and my water is totally cloudy. Did several partial water changes and it look's like I will lose all my fish. Can the coral, live rock be saved, or is the tank a total loss and needs to be completely broken down and re started. tank is 12 years old with live sand , live rock and refugium w cheato.

Huge mistake just need to know what best way to proceed is. Thanks for all your help

Id be getting some airstones going and doing water changes. But id also take any surviving fish out and put in a 5 gallon bucket of newly mixed saltwater immediately.

Water changes lots of them if you can. I would even call Red Sea and see what there recommendations would be.

Heavy and multiple water changes. If you have a skimmer remove the cup and ramp it up . It will overflow but excellent for adding oxygen during this crisis.

Nopox is a pretty strong product, you need to do alot of water changes or one big one of atleast 75% at once if possible. Good luck, i hope you save them. As stated above contacting red sea would be a good choice as well
