Brook can kill quickly in some cases. Doing a freshwater dip daily can buy you some time.

Did a freshwater dip yesterday and another one this afternoon before throwing my fish in a QT.
Setup QT tank and went to local fish store. Noticed my clowns eye had turned white. LFS says it is likely a bacterial infection. So, my clown is in QT with some medication. Hopefully thinks clear up in a few days!

He didn't make it.
I am back in the game after a 10 year break but this isn't going well. My first two fish are gone. I did a fishless cycle that took about 4-5 weeks. I have 2 fish left (first replacement was a really small clown and drown after getting sucked in the overflow).
Losing two fish in less than a month..
SG 1.025
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Phos: .25
Am 0
PH - 7.8
Temp about 80 (maybe I am keeping my tank too warm but I did plenty of research here and 80 seems fine).
Dkh - have not tested
My other clown still looks fine and my lawnmower is fat and happy... 6 Zoa frags doing well too.
My daughter (9) is not going to be happy!

Sorry for your loss 
Lots of disease and parasites in the supply chains these days.
QTing and having a fish med kit helps as some diseases and parasites can move quickly.

Medications to keep on hand
These are the bare essentials I recommend for quarantining: Anti-parasitic: Copper Power with a Hanna High Range Copper Colorimeter (HI702) for testing. Treats Ich & velvet. Anti-parasitic: Metronidazole (e.g. Seachem Metroplex); treats brook & uronema. Dewormer: Prazipro or API General Cure...
