Icon8 Raging Bacteria

So although I have had and kept a saltwater tank for 5 years...surprisingly enough I have never had to deal with sick fish.

I brought home a purple tip anenome...3 days later...my firefish died...in the morning he looked fine in the evening upside down and dead. My scooter bleeny(sp) was next...never looked sick. My 8year old tomato clown had cloudy eyes and my coral beauty had some symptoms that lead me to a bacteria. I put my coral beauty and clown in a QT tank...and began treatment. 1 day after treatment started the beauty died...3 days after treatment the clown died. So over the course of 6 days I lost 4 fish.

I checked my water and all seems fine....now that ALL of my fish are dead...how should i treat my tank so any new introductions do not get the same thing?

If it is bacteria it may still be in your tank and it may require steilization to prevent a future reoccurrence. What are your tank parameters?
