the stars prob never had a chance to begin with , they do better in mature systems. the snails can stay, so can the crabs. ok for the record and im telling you this as a fact that 40ppm is nothing thats going to destroy your reef over night , you have time to slowly bring it down . heres what you do: youve already done plenty of water changes , so now just go weekly or bi weekly. no more food hits the tank period. turkey baste rocks and holes really squeeze the gunk out of there. get your self a skimmer that works. ask around for some pods, basically some cheato or even a scoop of sand to get some bio diversity in your tank.....thats a big problem with dry rock. then.....walk away come back in 2 weeks, clean the tank out do another water change and again let it stable. look into running some sort of media to battle phoshates. in all honesty you want this tank for years right? so whats wrong with a small step out of the picture while the tank stabilizes. a tank can go over a year before it completely stabilizes , in the mean time there are things we can do to help it along , but you cant rush nature it takes time. cheers
