Any large adjustments, I usually use a drip method from a milk jug siphoned through airline tubing with a few knots in it to make it drip at the speed I desire.

Do you have a skimmer in the tank? If not maybe try an enzyme stress coat for a little while to help against infection while the clownfish's immune system is down from the stress. If you have a nano-skimmer or something, don't use a stress coat though as it'll interfere with the skimming.

Ya I do have a nano-skimmer hooked up, so I guess I will just wait it out and see what happens in a few days. Ill keep you all updated.

Everything is all back to normal now. Just took a few days for everything to adjust, but it all looks great now and the fish is swimming around and eating like a pig again. Lesson learned.
