Over a month ago i had a total fish kill off in tank. I bought a fish from LFS and foolishly did not Qt it. The new fish enied after a day or two then my PB Tang, which I had for almost 2yrs, developed either ick or some type of fungi then perished a few days later. I removed my LR and Inverts and Hyposalined the tank over a week. It was too late my coral beauty died as well. I let the tank sit for a month with low salinity levels. I then did a water change a week and a half ago and brought parameters up to normal. Is it safe to start over? Inverts have been living fine. What should I do? Please help me.

30 days in hypo is a bare minimum. 4 to 6 weeks is good if indeed you had ick. Was it white spots all over the fish, or a cotton like problem with the fish that you had?

it wasnt white spots thats why i wasnt sure if it was ich. It could have possibly been a fungus. If it were would this waiting period be sufficient?

How large of a water change did you do?
I am not sure of the life span of a fungus in a fishless system under hypo.
