The QT was a short notice setup but the biomax and sponges have been aged as long as the DT has been running. The LFS said most fish have been with them for a while (except the watchman goby - 1 week) and the corals have been there for a bit too with no issue.

sounds like a mini cycle in the QT, hard to say, but 10G is very small. Im not a huge fan of QTs really, or bioballs for that matter. I may not be the best person to advise you. But ammonia creeping up is always bad, and 8 months is pretty new from a DT standpoint, may not be established enough for what your adding.

yeah I was on the fence about adding this much too. The LR and some sand was carry over as I bought the tank used and we kept the rock cycled up. It was previously running for about a year and was premium fiji rock or something like that to begin with. The DT never did cycle (that i noticed) and was ready to rock right from the first fill.
If everyone's looking healthy I may just move them over sooner than later. The QT tank seems like more of a problem stressing out otherwise seemingly healthy fish, but ready online guides keep stressing the importance of quartining new arrivals that's why I went this route. Thanks for the replys anyways.

Id say its more than old enough to handle what you added. I started adding sps to my tank after 4 months of it being setup with no issues. I think it is your quick qt setup causing you issues. I personally don't qt anything, just dip and throw in my tank. Might not be the best advice but has worked for me so far.

Might just do that from now on with the corals; do a good dip and inspection. Hope they pull through. Too bad, a guy trys to do the right thing but ends up nuking a few things in the process lol..
I thought the QT would be cycle free as much biomass as I added. Live and learn I guess and plan my adding of stock to have the QT up and ready.. I might just keep it going to have it ready anyways. Oh well just money and some poor creatures life i guess..  Im a bad fish dad haha.

Well all is seeming well in the QT, water is clear and ammonia is back down to 0.25 or less. The fish are much more active so I think I'll keep them in the QT for the next while as originally planned. Keeping up with a 20-30% WC each day. The LR I stuck in there I think was the key, too bad as it cannot go back in the sump now.
The SPS are another story, have a feeling one of them is nuked and the other isn't looking promising. The LPS seems fine tho.
