    Default kole yellow eyed tang

    long story quick...corallife 3 timer failed while I was on vacation. caused the light to stay on for who knows how long. I was gone for ten days. killed most of my coral, which fouled the water which then killed almost all my fish. did a water change 2 days ago and tested the water....much better almost back to normal. my tang is not looking so hot. Staying on the bottom/resting on the bottom. Is there anything I can do?!!! so I don't lose another fish!

    Please help!

    I'm so sorry for your losses ((HUGS)) You've seem to have already done the most important. Getting things back on track. The rest will be up to your Tang. Sending you both good vibes for his/her recovery

    It's not going to make it. On its side on the bottom. Should I take it out and put in the sump maybe or turn the lights off? Thoughts?

    Sorry to hear about this. I'm assuming the tank overheated with the lights running continuously. I have heard many bad things about those coralife timer/power strips over the years.

    I'm not sure what killed everything. I didn't check the temp but it was warm. Kill just about all my coral and most of my fish. I have 3 left in a 90 gallon tank. Pretty sad about it tank has been up for almost a year and was doing great. Oh well
