Oh, I should add something. Test your NSW before hand. If the parameters are quite a bit different from your tank water, add it slowly to the tank. Don't just dump it all in. You don't want to radically change your pH or anything really quickly.

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.
