Tank crash, if anyone can assist with helping me Rebuild my tank please help

[Honda5456]

Hey guys, I just suffered from my first tank crash (been running 2-3years) 50-60gal system with sump. Its happening as we speak and there is nothing I can do at this point, I believe the damage is already done. I am VERY disappointed but accidents happen. So I am trying to keep a level mind about it as I really enjoy the hobby. What happened is a MAJOR kalkwasser overdose. To the point my filter sock in my sump was lined with it badly (I run the 4-5in diameter socks). My skimmer and etc. Ugh. I had some kalkwasser and stuff mixed up getting ready to dose it with that and feed. Well, my un-coordinated DA left the lid open by accident and about a 4lb container of kalkwasser got knocked into the return section of my sump I dont know exactly how much went in. Enough to white out my tank, put my clowns on the floor, Pods to start dying rather instantly, even the snails stopped moving. I only had enough water on hand to change out 10 gallons. Changed the socks and trying to skim it all off as we speak.
With this all being said. Once my water comes back clear and I can actually see the damage. Does anyone know where I can find 2 baby clowns, a cleaner shrimp and a clean up crew and etc reasonably priced so I can start over? I cannot afford to go dump another 500+ into the tank right now. Hoping people in the community can assist. Maybe some of you are breeders or have something youd like to get rid of? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Either on the forum or I would say nemos... And I would hold off on the cleaner shrimp until your tank gets more stable.

It's probably too late at this point, but you could add some vinegar to lower the pH while you make more water?

I have some zoas and a few other stuff for you to get you started once you get your tank under control

If I weren't so far away, I'd start making as much water as I have containers for for you, but it would be 1.5 to 2 hour drive each way, and I suspect there's got to be a source closer.

Where are you located?

I would definitely invest in a RO/DI system. This will help combat accidents. It might not have helped you in this incident but you never know.. when you get it back up and stable i can help you out a little but I currently don't have much
