Strange. A fish dieing should not make water cloudy, any idea how long it was dead for before you got it out?

But from the fact that pouring the new water on your coral bleached it, I suspect your salt, or something terrible in the Edmonton water supply. So you need to use RODI water and new salt to put your animals in.

Have you re-tested Ph and Alk and tried any buffers yet?

Did you dechlorinate your water and leave it overnight with a heater and powerhead before use? Otherwise a 50% change will significantly reduce the oxygen and temperature of your water.

Ron, if you can get your stuff (fish and corals) to Neal faster than waiting for me to get home (because then you still have to get home and setup the temporary tank) then do it, time is of the essence.

Thanks, yep neal said he would take my fish...and possibly the inverts.
The galaxea, well i threw it wentt it went completely white.
the xenia is shrivelled but hopefully...and the mushrooms who knows....

maybe i could come over tomorrow and borrow the heater pail and ro/di water..put the live rock in...then i can clean the substrate and everything then
well...start over.

Yep, no problem.

Best of luck, and if you lose the xenia and want more when you re-start I will frag those, a colt coral, and a kenya tree for you for free.

My god you have been so helpful, you don't have to do that....

Okay whoa...i put fresh mixed salwater (over night) into a bucket for the fish, it went white to. I think maybe i have bad salt?

whoa even the worms are dying...

Test the Ph and alk of the water when you make a new batch up, before adding it to your tank.

My softies grow quickly, so dont worry about it. My colt would just barely fit into your 20g

Wow....
you think i should drain the tank and set the live rock in some water...then clean the substrate?
Going to have to buy some rock from you when i get the new tank...seeing as my car just cost me 2500 bucks i've had to stall the custom tank build...lost my deposit as well. Thats why i was hoping someone would trade the speakers for a tank and stand....
