HELP, inverts are acting all weird and slow

After gluing 4 pieces of milliepora to the rock and back wall all of my inverts, including copepods started to flail around/ drift around/ go slow motion!
Any idea why and what happened? I switched the carbon so it could suck up any toxins but beyond that i have no idea what just happened.
 
Try doing a water change.
Coincidently, It almost sounds like your phosphates could be high. When was the last time you replaced GFO?
 
What else have you done in the last week? It may be a coincidence they are acting up at the same time as the frag addition. If not, where did you get the frags? LFS, unnamed reefer, online? Did you see the tank they came from?
 
Sounds like your systems couldn’t handle the chemical caused by the clue. Run carbon and try to skim wet for a few days.. Also while skimming wet keep an eye out on the salinity!!

Please post picture of the clue used

This is what im thinking it is, it happened immediately so i changed the carbon and added 2x as much as normal. Im running 10 grams of phosban which is like 2x dose. Ill do another wc today so it should be fine in the long run. None of the corals were affected and none of the snails now that i look, just the crustaceans.

yeah it definitely wasnt their tank, its 100% healthy. Im thinking its from too much glue at once
 
here is the glue

nice...a gel type too...think I may stop buying those annoying little 0.12oz tubes at the dollar store...thanks Landon ;)

but as for your inverts, I highly recommend an immediate 25% WC (or more if you can) to remove any residual chemical gases released by the large amount of glue introduced...pretty sure that should have an immediate affect...
