so i just put in my cement 3d custom made background last night and transported my fish. tank has tons of filtration and a powerhead with bubbles. the gar, bichirs, and plecos seem fine but my cichlids are all near the surace and my african bumblebee cichlid is somehow about to die. floating upside down looks really unhealthy im sure im to late but what can i do? ive been doing lots of water changes and i cured the concrete properly. if you need more detail let me know.
HHHEEELLLLLPPPP i dont want to lose this whole tank
 
to be honest you probably should have added the concrete when you intially set your tank up. as of now i would say take it out and do not put it back in . waht you could try is putting it in a new tank and letting the filtraion from that tank remove whatever chemicals or harful substances are on it then you could try reinserting it if you really want to try again but there are no guarantees
 
cool i took all the fish out and put them in another tank while i let the concrete keep recalcifying till its done. my gar, bichir, and plecos seem fine but every one of my cichlids fins are rotting and every day i find 2 more dead, these are foot long guys that are dying here i feel awfull. there in clean water now at 86 with lots of salt but they keep dying. anyone knows let me know. worste day this year guys im killing all my pets and i dont know what im gonna do because im a newb still

test the ph of the water the ajust the ph then for infection but do it gradual i almost lost all angels after bacteria infection got cleared one week for that then 2 weeks with melifix then 2 weeks on primafix
 
you got the concrete wall from a fish place right? Cause if its a reptile rock wall it may have some sort of chemical sealant that is harming your fish. if it is a fish rock and you ordered it offline i would contact the site and let them know whats going on they may be able to help you out.
 
I'd check your pH as it sounds to me like something spiked your pH. Those could possibly be acid burns on the fins of your fish. Always make sure the tank is nice and cycle before you add any fish or other large organisms. Plus when your adding don't add all the fish at once. This will cause a bio overload which can be pretty nasty.
