Default Wiping out entire population! Help find the solution!

Hi all!

My problem is that a mouse drank water from my main tank infecting it with who knows how many bacterias. The outcome: fish with fin rot, columnaris, and who knows. They are dropping like flies.

I did not have any of these problems until then. It has been three weeks of desperation trying to find solutions to treat these diseases.

I set up two hospital tanks and either way the fish die. In fact, they die faster in the hosp. tank than in the main tank.

How can I kill the bacterias swimming in the water w/o killing the bio filter and the fish in the process? I already have a cheap uv system and does nothing.

Any advice, suggestion, comment or experience will be appreciated!

Thanks!
