Crash.

I put water in it last Tuesday 4-5 pm. And changed the water 5-6 times. Leaving water in it over night. Then I put it into use on Friday night around 7. Or so. I also plumbed a new reactor as well. With GFO in it. That is the only change that was done besides the new sump!! By the way all the fish made it except 2. I have my skimmer and 3 small bags of carbon going. Hoping to get it to clear up and remove any contaminants. I have done 2 water changes. 15 gallons a peice. I have a 120 gallon tank. Don't want to take too much out with the fish recovering.

How long did the silicone cure for?

Trying to give as much information as I can. Want to hear some different ideas. I also came home that nite and when I saw that fish all fu..ed up I treated with herbtana and put a five gallon pail of fresh new water with prime and stability in it. I'm thinking maybe too many chemicals at once? And the only reason I put herbtana was because the fish was showing same symptoms as the last time my tank crashed. ( a long time ago). It was ich then and I think I may have over done it and panicked.

Like I said I put water in it so the silicone if it needed to leech anything it would do it in the water. That was for 3 days. It sat dry for 1day before
