Nope, I tossed the sand once everything was out of the old tank. I was afraid of exactly what you said. I figured I would try B.B. and if I liked it, it would stay, if not I would add some in.

It's so hard to say. How much original water was transfered. How where the corals/Clams acclimated to the new tank. Could a huge swing in PH for the transport bag to the tank caused it?
What was the SG in the tank when the corals where added?

I had some jugs of just water, they were added to the tank first, then the pail with rock & water, the fish were next, but none of the water went in the tank. Clams were acclimated by adding some of their water to the tank, and some of the tank water to their bucket. The last thing to be added were the SPS as they were individually bagged up. I floated all the SPS first (like a mine field of bags!), then opened the bags to get some water into them from the tank. SG was 1.025 before and after the move. There was no "new" water added until the following day, and even then it was only about 5g. It was mixed up with RO/DI water I made in Edmonton.

2 questions, do you know what the buckets were used for (possible contaminant?) before the transfer and was the water for the sump aerated and heated while the sump was waiting to be hooked up?
Edit Oh one other thing is it possible that your new place was sprayed with something like a pesticide just before you got there?

- They were all salt buckets, always been used for fish stuff.
- Yup the sump was aerated and heated before I turned the pump on. - Good question about the contaminants, I don't know, I will ask though. Thank you!

WOW I don't think more caution could have been taken. Sound like the perfect move. It's hard to understand how such a well planed move could go so bad.
