Hi. I'm new to the site and need some help. I have a 125g tank, fresh water with different cichlids in it. I initally had about 30 small fish in there, they were all happy and doing fine.

I purchased 4 coral sea fans and put them into the tank, and did a 20% water change. Due to my error, the water i put in was too cold and the fish died, some of them. Now, my tank is very cloudy, I have faomy like bubbles on top of the water, and a few fish are still sick (not moving, breathing heavy, and white-mikly eyes). I did another 15% water change, raised the temp to 81deg and cleaned my filters and added some of the water clear stuff. but the problem is still there, and fish are still sick/dying.

anyone have an idea what it could be? could it be the sea fans? I do have about 60 or 70lbs of other coral i got from puerto rico, and those never affected my tank at all.

any help is greatly appreciate!
