so will he most likely fan till tomorrow and this fanning wont kill him right(it is just like last night) so how long should I moniter him and not feed and keep ph up before balance returns?ill look into some rock but will the rock hurt the plants or because the wood and plants are in tank will it stay around nuetral

Ph stay good he should stop fanning by morning, no the fanning is not going to kill him right away this is a sign of stress. Dnt worry about adding rocks, crush corals,and shell to buffer the water until he back to it happy normal self. Plants do lower the ph some keep adding buffers just keep the ph in the 7.0 range also as long as he is fanning he not going to eat so dnt worry about it eating after all this past it will start eating in a day or so.
