Ahh, cause aft a week of cycling, I thought of adding some hardy corals. Oh well. Lesson learnt.

Regretted it. So ya, I've transferred the zoas and mushrooms to my friend's tank. One more question. I've converted this 5 gal to SW from a shrimp tank, and now I find that it's really tiny with my canister of a similar size and skimmer taking 1/4 of the tank. I'm changing to a 45gal one, and do I transfer the sand, liverocks and water over or start everything anew?

Thanks for that tip!

The newly mixed water was crystal clear.. Is there a technique to change the water? Like letting it sit for hours before hand and stuff. I added salt to DI water, tested the alk, stir it, sit like 5 mins and i just siphon in.. 10-20%, and before that, my zoas are perfectly fine. They're wide open and they are closed now ): I must have did something wrong somewhere

Hi all! I'm new to this hobby as I decided to add a SW tank beside my FW tanks! Had been cycling the tank for around 2 weeks right now, and I guess I'm having a bacteria bloom because my water turned cloudy after water change (isit normal?). Current Nano tank set up: - 5Gal - Eheim 2028 canister filter - Skimz SH1 - T5 actinic & white light - Live Sand, Live rock A few days ago, my friend gave me a pink colt coral, and it seems pretty fine (I know I got to wait till the cycling is over), however, 12 hours after the water change, it just turn brown, piak and died. Thought its able to survive, as my small colony of zoas and mushrooms did.. I know I got to wait, but my hand itchy. Oops
