So lastnight I did a water change and when I woke up I noticed everyone in my tank was acting strange then remembered that i forgot to dechlorinate the water so I added enough dechlorinater for the entire tank.

Is that enough or what else should I do???

Hello, just wondering what percentage of a water change you did? I used to do water changes without dechlorinator at all with no ill effects (I am by no means recommending this). What is looking wierd in you tank? This information would help find out the root of the problem.

WAY to much dechlorinator IMO
I would have just left it. After 24hrs or sooner, the chlorine dissipates naturally. Might have done more harm putting that much Declorinator in?

So do I need to do another water change?

I did a 25% change

and by acting weird I mean corals and my worm weren't fully open and the fish were in spots where they don't normally go.

I would leave it and monitor fro a day. It's not uncommon for corals to act weird. things/fish will return to normal

Adding that much dechlorinator wont harm anything.

By this time, like mentioned, just leave it. The circulation/airation in your tank will have helped dissipate most of the chlorine by now. Your critters should be back to normal soon enough.

Cheers,

Chris
