Iv been testing my water and the only high one was nitrite was about 0.20

I did use tap water but used the stuff that gets rid of the bad bits!


the fish seem fine

part from the dead star fish and sand shifting star fish its poo

any ammonia or nitrite can be lethal

is nitrite lethal to fish and corals?

Well, I think your method of QTing was a good idea. Its hard to overload a nano with corals, but easy with fish, so keep that in mind. What species corals are you loosing?

Keep in mind that ALL ocean critters have lived for 100's of years with relatively little change. If things change it's usually so slow that it takes years. So they aren't used to wild swings in ph hardness temperature and that also goes for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate as all are non existent in the water where they come from. That's why everyone tries so hard to keep these levels non existent in their tanks

Leather mainley! 1 anemone is just about to be taken out as it gone !

Just wait and see what happens to the other 3-4 in my nano tank they looking little better!

But my main tank is clouldy

Cloudy huh? Increase surface agitation, sounds like you might have had poor gas exchange, leading to changes in dissolved CO2 which ultimately leads to calcium carbonate precipitation in the water making it cloudy. Solution is to increase surface agitation and pray.
