We need a lot more info:
How old is the tank?
How big is the tank?
What are the water parameters?
What are you feeding?
How often do you do water changes?
What is the stock list?

That's terrible. Sorry to hear that! Lots of water changes...
I would rinse out all of your filter pads, etc, or just get new ones.
