You should wait until January to buy anything alive online. With all of the Xmas deliveries it is possible that it could take far too long and you could get more die off from that.

You need to establish the filter on the main tank. Adding water itself won't do very much.

Ok, so revised setup is now: 30 gallon xl tank, with eggcrate top 20 gallon long sump with fuge Reef octopus NW 110 skimmer Mag drive 7 pump (nothing wrong with this?) 2 100watt heaters (any recommendations? I'd like one that is less than less than 11" so it can go width wise in the skimmer...
