 Re: dyeing fish
I am still fairly new at this hobby but haven't read this in any posts here yet, how old is your tank again? What I am thinking is maybe you need to not add anymore fish to your tank for a while because maybe what happened was your bacteria in the water did not have enough time to adjust to the new livestock and that will definitly cause fish stress which can lead to disease.... Again, I'm new but I have discovered that testing kits do have an expiration date (I know yours are fine, just mentioned this to make a point!) red cyano can happen to ANYONE and, it takes at least 4 months to have a good, healthy amount of pods flourish in your tank. My point is that I really believe maybe your tank needed more time at the beginning OR just more time in between fish additions....
But like I said, I'm still fairly new to saltwater (did the freshwater for 13 years) and I'm sure you'll get more experienced posts to help with solutions.
Good luck with your tank, don't give up, there is a solution!
