Coincidentally I'm about to clean my glass.
Here's an example of what Diana and I were talking about.
I last cleaned my glass 2 1/2 - 3 days ago.
Tip: Look at the front glass through the side panel.
Here's why...

I can't say. Your call.
The treatment is minimally disruptive, but will kill some good bacteria in your rocks and sump.
But isolating the fish adds to its stress level, especially after a freshwater dip, which increases susceptibility to stress related probs (ich).
I've treated twice for fish...
If I had time this week, and I had seen that article, I would have been in that lot in my Jeep trying to break it.
We did have a bit of water, nothing much. The community just around the corner got hit hard. Roads around it are still closed.
Erythromycin is a first line broad spectrum antibiotic, meaning it can wipe out a number of different bacterial infection with minimal disruption.

My 2c is worth less than 1c, but, regardless...
I'd put the skimmer on a timer for now, maybe running 8-12 hours a day to allow some nitrates phosphate to build (yet, be controlled).
I'd clean the brown gunk out of the sump (maybe look at a dose of Chemipure if warranted).
I'd start feeding a...

Sump,
I'm tempted with those clams as well. $60 delivered is got me seriously considering.

AUG 2018 MEETING GROUP BUY
Gotta ask folks to look into the group order again and support the vendor.
Its a great, and very generous, deal that may be rescinded as there’s only a single order placed atm.
Don't worry about containers folks. I'll have a starter container, dirt, and a week's supply of food.
Just hope we can stretch these out. I had thousands before the heat wave. The group has thinned considerably since.
I give a rundown on how to clean, maintain, and feed (both worms and how to...
Got a generic that works very well, 2 float system (1 fill, 1 cut off). Does not include pump.
If interested can send pics.
$25 if you come to Brick to pick it up at the August meet! If not, add $10 for shipping.
If cheato is needed I have 2-3 softball sized chunks I can pass out as well.
Also think the white worms are a bit more stable post heatwave. I'll pick up some containers and dirt and hand a starter out to anyone interested at meet.
And go support the group buy! I've already done my zoas.
