Thank you Vic - it is coming along. I'm not done with the aquascaping yet as I am just not 100%....
Leah - they were in the tank with just power heads for 2 days maybe three. I think/know they would have been fine for longer than that. I think it was a combintaion of stress and how I had placed all the rock in the tank while I set up the other one. They had little to no room to move and no light. I ran my other tank for days without a skimmer or sump and everything was fine....
Also it may have been me who was stressed and worried and as I said I went into panic mode
