Terrible Co2 Accident

[severn]

god,

this is terrible to tell but either due to me not reading the instuctions correctly or faulty regulator i came back from work on tuesday and my altums were all dying in front of me ..

my presurrised co2 had gone mental pumping loads of co2 into the water...

i did a 50 % water change as quickly as possble..and so far..touch wood none have died...

i am now airating heavily..one fish has lost its long ventral fins..

one other has a bad wound to the body...now this has gone furry today
i have treated with melafix since tuesday and coating there bloodworms with seachem neoplex...

any advice would be appreciated

thanks
jon

I had the same problem... I lost fish though

Decommissioned the planted tank shortly after that.

Good luck.
