So i got home after a wile away from home to find my tank looking terrible with what appears to be numerous casualties, upon furthered inspection i found both my newly acquired sea hares dead... i have heard these things are very toxic to the water and was wondering what i should do???? Is it a total loss and should i unload the tank and flush the system? ?? Where should i go from here?? Its a 150gal tank and the two sea hares were about 4" long

water changes big ones you wil be suprised what makes it

I just changed 35gal, about an hour ago. Should i do that once a day or more often? ? I can do alot sense i can mix 200 gal of mixed water every 24 hrs. But i would think after to many rapid water changes you would begin to cause more harm then good right???

It is a matter of getting rid of the toxins....fresh saltwater is a much better risk IMO

water changes and run carbon

Depends on the type/species of sea hare too. Some are more toxic than others. I had one start to nuke my 28g nano awhile back. Water changes did the trick, no losses!! I didn't go overboard with the water changes either. I probably would have if anything would have started dying.

+1 lots of carbon

 

[Dbarnes]

I cant run carbpn because of my bio pellets, it will de-nature the bio pellets. But i did about 75% water change over the last 24 hrs and all my zoas, lps and softies are looking 100% better, my sps are still looking like ****. Now that i have my tests done i can 100% confirm it was the death of my sea hares that caused it but i wish i new what caused their deaths because they were very beneficial to my system cuc

Can you elaborate on the carbon/bp connection? I've never heard of it.
