She's doing great. She's acting as if it never happened. I have new platies now because I found the time to go get some more yesterday. I have bubblers now too. One is currently running and the second is for emergencies.
I did figure out what went wrong. Turns out when the regulator went nuts, it sent the ENTIRE cylinder full of co2 into the aquarium! A full cylinder of co2 blasted into a small 38 gallon tank. I've always hated my regulator but now I can't even describe my feelings towards it
It's completely empty now so I have to get the cylinder refilled a week after I got it refilled. But the drop checker's dark blue so I should soon.
To try and help with my stupid regulator, I got another valve to make sure only a little co2 goes into the tank at once. I hope it'll help. Thanks for checking.

My friend had the same problem and while he went to the LFS to buy a bubblier, his wife used a hair dryer (no heat) to add oxygen and agitate the water until he got home. By the time he got home the fish were swimming around again but they still had co2 poisoning. They eventually came out of it. I hope yours do too
