OK, here's my $.02 for full recovery. Stop dosing everything immediately. Here's the part that sucks: Do daily 5 gallon water changes, temperature matched and at 1.025 SG, with a good quality reef salt. Don't mess with any other parameters or supplements during this time. You have to minimize the variables involved. In about two weeks, your tank will look much better. Then you can switch back to weekly 10% water changes.

After recovery, your current tank inhabitants probably don't even need any extra dosing if you do weekly 10% water changes. I can't tell you how many problems I've caused myself dosing things I "thought" I needed. Simple can be better, especially when you are first starting out.

Good luck and keep asking questions!
