Hey All,

Thanks for all the help and offers. I worked on the tank till 3am, letting the collection cup fill up and then dumped it. my sump water was starting to get low, I let the brute trash bin mix my water till this morning (pretty much 100% full of water)

I did a WC this morning, and ran the skimmer again, this time it didnt fill up as fast. Did this for about an hour, then came into work. I didnt grab the bottle with me. I did however write an email to the company, they say this stuff has a 2 year shelf life, and my lot number is within range. Then he just went on about how I didnt use the full medication dosage instructions and tried to use a doctor and medication for human metaphor (pretty much saying their product didnt mess it up). I would hate to imagine what would have happened if I used the full medication dosage into my tank. I will post the ingredients tonight, but here is a link to their product.

There is a pdf file at the bottom of the page, but it says the ingredients are "proprietary".

Quick update, the kole tang passed sometime during the night. The total is 8 fish so far. The puffers still seem stressed.

Sorry to hear about your losses, just do large waterchanges for now until the tank is stable again. In future may I suggest getting a smaller tank and dosing meds in there instead of the display tank, that way if something goes south you can quickly replace the water rather than larger system.

As well I doubt it was the Herbtana, yes your skimmer overflows with it, hence the back of it saying to turn off your skimmer, my best bet is you didn't do that and you had skimmate in your cup... it overflowed back into the tank, thus stressing everything in the tank, as mentioned do a good size water change to try and get everything settled again....

Ive used this product for a long time and have never had a single problem with it, I recommend it to alot of people and never had they had ill effects....

Good luck from here on!

Hey Steve, I stopped treatment and turned the skimmer on a day after I dosed. I didn't have the skimmer running during treatment. I followed the instructions, turned slimmer off and removed carbon. I also only used 75% of the recommended dosage to "play it safe"
