how long have u cycled your tank for? did u test for ammonia and nitrite before adding livestocks?

[CKL]

Your tank has not been fully cycled for just 5 days. And your small tank size does not help as parameters are difficult to maintain for small capacity tank.

See if you have friends to help temporary house the hammer until your tank is cycled and parameters stable.

Agreed! Corals with only 5 days cycling is no way ...

You shuld cycle the tank. Cause its not just the water, u need the bacteria to build up in ur bio media, live rocks and sand

[qianjun]

Add bacteria daily can help to accelerate the process. ..

I used uncured live rocks and arag-alive sand (which I think is critical), water change every other day; coral plus fish after 2 weeks. Very risky move
