![]() First I place the corals inside the bag floated it in my DT for 30 minutes. Then I place some water from the bag and coral inside the plastic container and place it in my tank. I got a bucket and placed some DT water in and located it to a high level. I started dripping it at a rate 2 drops per second. When the plastic container was full I threw away half of the water. Repeated for 2 hours, I placed the coral in my DT and threw the water away.

![]() i have placed different corals and snails in at different times. I look at my tank all the time at night, I don't think I do have any hitch hiker. The corals and snails looks pretty dead as soon as I put the in the tank.

![]() Possible the plastic container was used for something else before hand? Did you get em from a store? Or another reefer.... Bag contaminated maybe? Im not familiar with Vancouvers water, here Id have to do some serious work to hit a ph of 8.4.... Are you doing anything to get it that high?

![]() Have you used any medications in your tank in the time that it has been running? Nitrate of 5 isn't through the roof but it is a little high in my opinion.
