So ill see what happens. I had called the store and they told me its my fault. Which it is but i would think that they would at least offer me advice on what i could do to save what i had as I have bought all equipment and over $2000 in livestock from them. but i guess it was best to hang up on me..

i wanted to cycle my tank for another week or so.. does anyone have any corals that they might be looking to get rid of.

thank you everyone for your help.
Im happy i was referred to this site.

First off, I wouldn't be going back to that store ever again

Secondly, I would hold off before restocking the tank with corals. Its likely there is some residual formalin still in your tank that could affect them so it would just be a waste to add them if they're going to die. Its also likely your tank will need more time to recover if it does need to cycle. I would wait close to a month at least with weekly waterchanges and keep running carbon (change it out every week or so) just to make sure you're starting from the best point possible.

And definitely don't hesitate to post here first if you are having any issues at all, this is a pretty busy board so you'll probably get a quick answer
