Dendro: What sponge did you use? You didn't happen to use one of those from the kitchen section of Lowes/Walmart did you? They're impregnated with some sort of soap/cleaner from what I've seen on the label.
That's part of the problem. I do not know where the sponges came from. One was pink, the other was yellow, so it is a good guess that they have been treated with some detergent or anti-fungal chemical. Either way, whatever leached into the tank made quick work of about 11 fish. They died within a few hours. The coral however all made it unscathed. For that I am thankful.
