karsseboom: I can take some heat, I realize this was a crazy endeavor that I am jumping headfirst in.

Will be doing partial water changes daily until SG and other parameters are acceptable.

Primarily feeding fish at the moment every other day (frozen mysis), holding off on PhytoFeast for now. The acro? and dendro? also eat mysis, but I told to target feed 1-2x week only and the rest of the time they'll go for fish leftovers.

I did remove the clam that looked questionable, but not 100% if it was dead or not... currently in a bucket of water from tank...

Some of the SPS were already browning/bleaching before the tank was moved. My friend indicated he had been slipping on maintenance for the past few months due to constant work travel before the sudden move.

Dosing is put in the ATO tank dissolved in freshwater and pumped into the tank, so the rate is slow so hopefully will not shock.

Test results from last night, using test at home kits:
Salinity - 1.028, will add fresh RO H2O
Ammonia - between 0-0.25 ppm (not good)
Nitrate - 0-5 ppm (not good)
Nitrite - 0 ppm
Phosphate - 0.03 mg/L

From Monday:
pH - between 8-8.1
Ca - 240 mg/L (low, will be supplementing with Reef Advantage Calcium)
KH - 143.2 ppm or 8 (on the low side, will supplement with the Reef Carbonate + Calcium + Magnesium)
