I've been out of town on business to return to a massive die off in 2 tanks. I think some turbo snails I introduced a couple of weeks ago had a nasty bug on them. I got back to see some sort of Ick type infection running through my 210 and 72. I started antibiotics, but thus far I've lost

Emperior
Clown Trigger
Double Saddle Butterfly
Clown
Power Blue Tang

RIP

I don't think I'm done either. F-ing snails...

I've never had anything happen like this in a Marine tank. Aside form the antibiotics and major water changes I'm not even sure what to do. Any recommendations? I may even Copper the FOWLERs and worry about the LR later.

I'm totally bummed about loosing my buddies. I've had the Emperior, Trigger and Clown for 5ish years and raised them all from juv. Not to mention that the replacement value is easily over 5 bills.
