Mystry solved - I hope. The tabs were the tabs for the pond water lilies.
:-O They have a NPK of 2-1-12.

I did another gravel vac, getting harder all the time because of the plants,
and drained the water down to an inch above the gravel. Refilled the tank
and will check the water values in a few hours.

Well it's a good thing you caught that.
Now your tank can settle down. = )
==================================
Got some different values this morning.

Nitrate = 30
Nitrite = 0
PH = 7.8
Hardness and alk the same.

Everyone looks fine but the clown loaches haven't eaten anything yet. One
loach dispossessed a clown pleco from the real log and moved him/herself in.
:-D

Well done indeed! :) I'd humbly recommend keeping an eye on those nitrates
so they don't get out of hand. Smaller, more frequent water changes stress
out fish less than fewer, larger water changes, if that helps. :)

Oh I agree. But I really wanted to get rid of the nitrates and nitrites
before anyone else died. I refilled it slowly with the Python and everyone
still looks fine. The clown loaches, very active and colorful, still aren't
eating.
