My daughter dumped almost half bottle of Clorox in my sump once, Had to take all the fish out and did about 40-50% water change, broke sump and skimmer and cleaned them,Killed few pieces of LR but I saved all the fish..

hmm... i dont have valuable fish nor live rock yet in my tank... only 2 minows and some grape macro in the refuigium... you think the skimmer should take out all the detergent... im thinking it might be my deoderent.. not sure... im pretty sure its just a real small amount.. nothing compared to half a bottle of clorox...

intrudah- how did your tank come out? doing good? did you ever do 100% water change?
