No i did just a water change that day on the 55 gal. My daughter spilled juice on her outfit and i put her clothing in the sink with about a 1/4 cup bleach. i think when i was helping her and then went down stairs i thin i might have some how contaminated my tank. i poured the bleach in a cup...

How would it contaminate my other tanks? they are not linked??? I am drying you the live rock then running out to grab a molly will let you all know how it goes. thanks.

How would it contaminate my other tanks???

I will be re starting the tank again with out the live rock and see what happens. Thanks so much.

no i know the cycle was not complete. I did watch the levels and the nitrites and nitrates had started coming down. Ammonia was o. I tested daily to watch the levels. The levels were all safe to add the one fish and he died that night. I have used the special blend and it cuts the cycle time in...
