Dr. Tims Re-Fresh is attempting to crash my tank
My tank has been thriving corals growing like crazy and healthy fish. I have been battling a little cyano and after doing some research decided to add a new type of bacteria. Iv only ever dosed nitrifying bacteria. Last night I did my normal water change and did less than the recommended dose of re-fresh. When I woke up this morning I noticed a couple dead snails and all my corals extremely retracted. Fish very lethargic and the rock dwellers completely hidden. I immediately tested for ammonia which showed 0 and salinity was good. I added a bubbler to help with oxygen. By the time I got home tonight my birdsnest was peeling away. Tested ammonia again and was up past .5. Added some ammonia stabilizer and another water change.
I can only assume there was a massive bloom which sucked the oxygen out of everything and stalled out my nitrifying bacteria.
On top of that I got my first ICP back today that I did for fun and found I have extremely high levels of Antimony.
Any thoughts, help, or ideas are welcomed!

Coral ID
This was a donor tank that I fixed up decently well. After around a month or 2 after getting I found some coral loosely attached to a rock and I decided to glue it down. The donor doesn’t remember what coral it was, so now I’ve turned over to Reddit.

This guys is so damn cool looking. Just added to the tank a few days ago, but it’s on the verge of full polyp extension.

First time reefer, need advice!
I have had tons of freshwater fish throughout the years and have been incredibly successful and now I want to get into saltwater because at this point I honestly find the saltwater tanks more appealing. I know most people say you should start large because its a lot easier to keep it stable but I am going to college soon and they have a limit of 10 gallons for any pet fish rule. I want to get a reef tank that I can bring with me that is an all in one setup. Do yall have any suggestions? I was looking at the fluval evo V but it just seems a little too small tbh. Any suggestions would be great. Also what corals do y'all suggest that would be colorful and not outgrow the space I put them in. Additionally what could I put in the tank besides maybe a clown, a shrimp, some crabs, and snails?
Any suggestions y'all have or resources that could help me learn would ne great, thanks!

What's wrong with my clownfish's poop?
Hey guys, I went on a trip recently and left my clownfish in the care of a friend. When I got back, I noticed their poop looks really weird. It's this brown, stringy filament-like stuff coming out of them.
They're acting completely normal and eating normally, but it looks like they're bothered by it. They sometimes try to rub themselves against the rocks or move around trying to get it off.
Does anyone know what this could be? And what should I do to help them?
