hey guys i have a 2 month old 55 gal tank that i want to make a reef out of. all my parameter are at 0 ph at 8.3 and sg is at 1.023, and occording to my lfs last night o copper. when i went to move my corals over about a week ago, they all shrunk really bad, and my snails got like paralised, that is the haven;t fallen out, but they aren't moving. i let them sit in the new tank for two days, and they looked like they were getting worse, so i moved them back to the other tank. right now i have 35 lb live rock, and 60 lb live sand. i had 40 lb ,according to my lfs, lace rock. it looked a little like slate, and it was very aery. that i got from another lfs. according to the lfs that i trust, the other one will do anything to make a sale. the rock i got was just sitting in a plastic tray, and it was dry. i took all of that rick out last night and i wall be replacing it with live rock very soon. should i worry about leaching. what can i do to see what is in my water. i really hope that i don't have to start over with new sand, and water. please help.
