I got my tank moved to the new apartment last evening. The cloudiness dissipated by this morning (until I blew the sand off the rocks with a turkey baster). All inhabitants are present and accounted for. Water parameters look good

Ph 8.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0

The cloudiness from basting the rock is already dissipating a half hour later. I will be testing the water daily and doing a water change within the next day or so.:bigsmile:

Salinity is a bit on the low side. 1.021

I have only fish and some yellow polyps and Xenia, so i am thinking this is ok for now?

I agree....I would slowly raise it...even those are both tough to kill corals, the low salinity isn't helping them.

I will definitely be working on salinity. I just came home for lunch and looked at the tank. Everything still looks good and the cloudiness from basting the rock is gone.

Adding some salt mix this morning to start bringing the salinity up.

Fish are out and about. So far so good.
