So I just moved my tank yesterday to a new house. It was basically pretty much a cluster. A friend and I packed up all the livestock and moved it to the new house. My husband was in charge of the heavy lifting and driving the truck and trailer to move the tank. He got delayed by 3.5 hours with a "shaw cable" issue and all my livestock basically sat on a cold concrete floor (about 18C, we haven't quite figured out the heat pump yet) for that time. Eventually he managed finally arrive with the truck, we moved the tank and I started to put it back together. By the time I was moving the livestock, the water was pretty cold. Because of my hurry to get everything back into the tank, some stuff was left behind including my chiller which, I'm figured out later, is pretty much an integral part of my sump return (hoses and junk are cut to that length).

Of course, the invariability with moving rock around (at least in my case) is less real estate. This happens every bloody time and I'm not quite sure how it happens. Anyway, most of the corals went into the main tank with the "leftovers" in the sump. I have a heater and circulation going in both the main and the sump.

Today, both the sump and tank are cloudy. Stuff from the sump is pretty much heading south. Couple RTN'ed pieces, some look ok but... well, you know how it is. Things in the main tank look ok but everyone is pretty stressed out looking, including me.

Anyway, the cloudiness. I can't remember if this is normal, we're talking pretty cloudy, about 6" viewable depth then fog. I can see most of the corals clearly enough to identify shape and color but not polyp extension.

I'm running carbon, a wavebox and a 6060. I'm scrambling to get the sump online, but now I'm sort of wondering if I should bother with everything going to crap down there its probly pretty toxic. There are lazy brittle stars everywhere (and you know how fast those guys usually are). Maybe I should just change out the water.

Any other suggestions?
