    I agree, you've got to do a water change right away, I'd say at LEAST 30%

    sorry to hear about the losses...you might want to start doing your own tests and above all, be patient and take things slow...

    I have lost 2 so far and the others are looking effected too. I don't have the ability to do such a large waterchange, I only have 2 5 gal buckets. I will mix up as soon as I can. they are a drop in the bucket to my 125 gal tank... My clown and my dansels are looking bad. The clown has lots of white spots and my damsels are loosing color. my yellow tang and lion fish and starfish look normal.
    275 gal, loving my new stand.
    Always looking for big fish.

    I bought a 35 gallon trash can and I can add water to it run for more fill it then mix then pump it in the tank for water changes

    I only use it for clean freshly made water....but it sure helps when I do massive water changes on my 125.

    The rubbermaid can cost me 14 bucks? I keep it out in the garage laundry room or whatever until I need it.

    The only issue is trying to keep everyone from using this as a trashcan.

    You can get wheels for this too and store water in it short term.

    My husband brings me 5 gallons at a time...so this is VERY helpful for us.
