IMO it probably got sick at the store, and it's not your fault. If you want to continue, I'd quarantine the tank for up to 10 weeks without fish; treating medication on the main tank can kill a bunch of inverts you want in a SW environment. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.
