Ok there's the run down I just moved to a new house so I moved my 120 gallon from my old house to the new house the 120 gallon is in my living room I did all the plumping threw the floor into the basement were I have a 40 gallon sump with my skimmer heaters and on phospban reactor the initail move of the tank to my new house was about 4 weeks ago the tank since the move was doing graet all the fish made it they were fine and the corals were doing I would say good about a week ago I wanted to add my 90 gallon to the system so I could have more water volume and I wanted to make the 90 the refuguim since the move my water parm are great probally the best they ever were.
So I made new water with my r/o unit and added salt heated the water to the same temp as the tank and the salt level was the same I then introduced the new 90 to the system after pvc ing the return pump to the 90 instead of to the 40 gallon and washed the pvc pipes out with fresh water everything looked good .
I then intoduced the 90 and bam fairy wrasse started twitching and convotling died right away the other fish were breathing heavy but ok my dwarf lion didn't look good though a few days later he started lossing his fins and bam dead now I figured the glue messed then up and threwout the week I did water changes every day to get it out within a week I did 80 gallons spread out 20 gallon at a time per day.
I checked all my parmetera right away everything was mint and matched the water before I introduced the 90 so now a week goes by everything is starting to pick up and my yellow tang dies 2 days later the other yellow tang dies now they were old man about 12 years old and stopped eating when I first introduced the 90 gallon now everything is doing good Iand all fish that I have left are eating and seem to be fine I'm running alotta carbon also the hekp out I checked my water again and still the parapeters are fine I even tested for amonia
