Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
The zoas and mushrooms are still closed up the water smelled awful in the little tank. I managed to quickly do another full water change mixed up the sand and rinsed it a bit with clean saltwater then filled it back up with clean water and turned the filter back on. I started just too leave it empty but there are quite a few snails in the sand that might still be alive. I left the corals and pompom crab in the big tank in my acclimation box for now. The pico had a huge amount, as in they were constantly covering the glass, of pods in it that didn't make it so I'm sure between all them dying and the 5 sexy shrimp dying the ammonia spiked way up. I really hope the corals recover I would hate to lose them. They were pretty good sized colonies.
You're corals will most likely be ok if it's an ammonia spike. Ive had them so strong that it killed my fish, but the corals actually looked amazing. Ammonia is as immediately toxic to corals as it is to fish, inverts, etc. In fact corals consume it on some level. A few reefers even dose it!

I have some choice words for these murderers, my poor hammer hanging by a thread and they just threw it aside like a cheap piece of zooxanthellae and are claiming the next victim.
