Personally, I think nanos should start with only live rock. Helps things move faster and also doesn't make much difference economically. After all, its just a small volume of rock :)

I would guess that there is the culprit, maybe still some die off from the rock. Your going to have to do daily water changes of at least 25% until thing stabilize for sure. If you have another salt tank going you could exchange a few pieces to help stabilize.

Hey I like the homemade skimmer. I may try a similar Mame copy skimmer myself. Sorry to hear about the losses, in addition to what everyone else said remember to go slow. Cheers.

BTW since you are getting big numbers on nitrate, I am sure that your rock is pretty live now :P

Get started with the water change. MOVE MOVE! :mrgreen:
