Hi all,
I am running hypo in my DT so I moved all my corals/inverts and some rocks to a QT. The QT is a 55 gallon I picked up from my friend. It was left outside exposed to the elements. I gave it a quick rinse outside with the hose, and filled it up. There was some sand and other debris still left over in there, and the water looks a little dirty.
I used mostly RO and mixed fresh salt, and used some reef water from my LFS to fill 35 gallons. The alkalinity and calcium levels were close to my DT. I accidentally transferred the corals in at a salinity of like 28ppt while my display was at 34ppt. The corals looked terrible, so when I realized this I bumped it back up to 33ppt. It's been a few days and they still look awful. I'm worried they're all going to die. I'm using my gyre for flow.
The nitrate levels are obviously 0, so I dropped a couple cubes of oyster eggs in there over those few days. Not sure what else to do.
Thanks.
