Ok worth a shot. To answer your question I would hold off on water changes for a bit.]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:57:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54844&PID=455060&title=water-changes-or-not#455060 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54844&PID=454985&title=water-changes-or-not#454985 Author: bstuver

I don't think so. Chad built the tank and I rinsed it before filling it.]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:25:28 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54844&PID=454985&title=water-changes-or-not#454985 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54844&PID=454978&title=water-changes-or-not#454978 Author: kellerexpress

Was your tank new or used when you got it? This might be a long shot but is there a chance that it was cleaned with something that is toxic to corals before filling it up? Sorry about all the loss, must be very frustrating. When i saw them before the tank move everything looked super healthy. That rainbow welso is awesome btw

The cloudiness was caused by what I am guessing was a bacterial bloom or from corals dying. It wasn't due to the sand but thanks:)]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:42:33 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54844&PID=454930&title=water-changes-or-not#454930 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54844&PID=454928&title=water-changes-or-not#454928 Author: Akira

As im still on my first tank. Heres what I did ......cleaned all new sand as best as I could ...took hours , after seeing lots of sand clouds on build thread i slow filled via over flow and siphon . took a long time but i was clear in like 20 mins ( only turned on power heads 1 at a time both aimed up). And yes I know how experienced u are just a trick I tried and it worked wonders for cloudyness .....the rest im curious to see other posts.]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:26:30 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54844&PID=454928&title=water-changes-or-not#454928 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54844&PID=454388&title=water-changes-or-not#454388 Author: bstuver

I lost all my SPS which doesn't surprise me, but I also lost both my torches and a head of hammer. My acans are happy and inflated which is odd seems normally they are more finicky.
I thought I had an ammonia kit but it looks like I need to go get one.
