Was all the rock and sand from the old tank or was any of it new? Also did you clean the new aquarium in any way before adding stuff?Bad news the clown did not make it through the night . I don’t know what went wrong . Stress?
Oh i just saw you have coral in there already too. How are they? Do they seem stressed at all?Tank is looking good today( looks better in person ) . I had to turn off the pump because it was making a lid grinding noise ,so I took it apart to see if there was anything but i saw nothing. I contacted IM and the replacement is currently coming in the mail
The zoas, frogspawn , and hammer are coming back out . The frogspawn fully expanded for a while . I used new live sand and have been curing a piece of rock for this tank .Oh i just saw you have coral in there already too. How are they? Do they seem stressed at all?
The fish could have succumbed to stress or shock. Could have already been sick. Could have got injured in the tank transfer. Sometimes its hard to determine why.
I'd say just take it slow, monitor things, and do weekly water changes.
I'd have saltwater premade and change as needed. I'd test ammonia, nitrate, nitrite daily. Keep them in acceptable levels. Id honestly move your coral and anything else living back to your old tank if possible and wait for the new tank to equilibrate. If its mostly new dry rock expect fluctuations in parameters.The zoas, frogspawn , and hammer are coming back out . The frogspawn fully expanded for a while .

Gotcha. Keep us updated!Nothing wrong with parameters and did a tank transfer. I no longer have the 20 gallon running.
I use RODI and a rag. Too afraid to use an ammonia based glass cleaner. If you wipe it really well you wont get streaks.What do you guys clean the outside of you glas with ?
New stock pump came in the mail today , so now it’s nice and quite .
I found and old white t shirt and it works really good.I use RODI and a rag. Too afraid to use an ammonia based glass cleaner. If you wipe it really well you wont get streaks.
Glad they replaced the pump for you!
I want a BTA in my 20 but i have been advised they get too big. Will definitely be following how it works out for you. Keep us updated!I wanted to do an update. I recently got a rainbow BTA that seems to be doing good. Also picked up some Kenya and Xenia. I’m planning to get fishes on Monday because I’m gone for the rest of the week.
