Two tank emergencies!

I didn't do a WC on my 75g yet (didn't have enough water, will need to finish making it after work and do the WC), but the water looks about 20% clearer after changing the carbon and filter floss. I believe it's bacterial/algae bloom.

RE my 9g tank.. should I treat the tank as if its going through a cycle again before adding fish? I did about 50% water change yesterday and plan on doing another. The corals look happy enough in there.

I’d simply add Doctor tims and wait a week or so, ghost feed and ensure you don’t have NTS. I suspect you’ll be fine.

thanks. I don't have Dr Tims. Will see if the stores has it locally

Biospira is another one I’ve had success with.

sorry for your loss. Kepp us updated-- curious what the tank sitter has to say. To me sounds like some type of poisoning from a spray or liquid used in or around the tank. Had this happen once to a tank in my workplace. Cleaning lady cleaned the glass with ammonia, got some in the water, everything died in 5 minutes.

my 9g tank I am still doing water changes, it's cloudy. Lost the SPS corals I had in there, but the acans are doing OK. One BTA died (Then again, it wasn't doing to well when I got it from a terrible online vendor). The other BTA is doing good. I am working on getting it back on track before adding corals and fish to it again.

my 75g tank cleared up after changing the carbon and filter floss. I did a small WC on it yesterday. Lost some LPS corals (then again, I never really had success with them). All fish seems to be unharmed, thankfully.
