I would. once they get that far gone, there's really not much hope. Sorry.
Yes, his temp problem was in the DT, but the fish were absent (in QT). :)
Dang, Dude... Your tank outside, or don't you have heat? It can't get colder than the room temp. I'd be checking the thermometer.
I'd recommend starting with what you plan to use for the reef. It will save you a lot of grief and recalculating when you acquire corals and start...

It's also all too easy to find bad advice in this hobby. Concerning iodine, before there were affordable, accurate test kits, I once had the LFS...

You'll hear and read a lot of myths about many things in this hobby. Most started years ago through assumption or general observation. Most have also...
Totally agreed. I once had a 29g softies tank with no filter, skimmer or sump. A 10% weekly WC kept everything in check. It would most definitely be...
Most any crustacean can be an opportunistic predator. That can be a good thing if their prey is sick and dying. As long as he isn't going for healthy...
If you have one laying around like I always do, an oversize HOB or canister filter will help dramatically.
+3 It does interfere with gas exchange (CO2 out, O2 in).
I'd also say most likely a biofilm. It probably is on the rocks as well; you simply can't see it because it's clear. Removing biomedia abruptly would...
