I noticed that my Scott's wrasse didn't look good at all!! I just built a new sump 5 days ago and now I think my fish were stressed. So u decided to put in some herbtana. Helps with ich. Thinking that my fish were stressed and were going to present with ich. So I put a couple capfuls. I then notice that all my fish were doing horrible. Now I'm changing water at 1:40 am. Fml.

What kind of silicone did you use to build your sump?

Can a person over dose with herbtana. I may have done that. Fish are swimming around again. 15 gallon water change so far. ( I have a 120gallon). I might of caught this early enough that maybe only 1 loss so far. I hope. The original fish that looked sick. I dosed herbtana and the rest of the fish were not looking good. Now with the water change. They are swimming around again. I hope that I caught it fast enough.

In the future I would try to avoid panic reactions like that.

IMO you only treat for what you know to be happening, not what you suspect. Treating a tank with anything without proof that there is need is dangerous....as you found out.

If one fish has already died I would do a much larger water change.....like 30-50%

Quote from the Tremco data sheet...

'PROglaze is not recommended........in continuous submerged applications'

Not sure why?
