None. Just cloudy. Some corals sliming, but nothing dead that I can see.

Changed water, cleaned skimmer, and hoping I have a tank when I get home.

One small one, not sure it's enough to cloud 200g of water. I guess it's possible. I thought maybe snails, but again, it's a lot of water for the amount of snails I have.

Brutal mang. Hope everything works out. Good to hear nothing is dying though.

The biggest thing I hate in this hobby is when something like that happens, and you never find out why. lol.

Do you run a doser or anything?

In the past, I have had a couple scares with very cloudy water, after cleaning sand and rearranging rock work. My solution was to dump in a couple cap fulls of MB7, and it cleared up completely within 2 hours.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
