Im really excited to join this forum. Im relitavely new to the hobby and im looking forward to getting help with some questions that i cant seem to get answered from the local fish store. Heres my problem.... i had a 54 gallon corner that i bought from another guy who had it established for 3 years, i had it over a year putting it established at almost 5 years. I recently (about 3 weeks ago) setup a 265 gallon tank with 75 gallon refugium. i moved everything from my 54 corner into this tank (70lbs live rock, bio balls, water, etc) also purchased 60 more pounds of live rock (putting me at 130lbs total), 100lbs live sand (40lbs in 265 and 60lbs in refugium). i was told by the saltwater store owner that i would not need to cycle the tank cause it will already be established after moving everything from other tank, so i put everything from my 54 gallon straight into the 265 and everything was doing great... then... i went and bought 350lbs of live rock from a guy who was breaking down his tank. the rock seemed to be fine, didnt have much growth on it but definately didnt smell like anything was dead or dying on it so i thought it was safe to put in my tank straight way and that is what i did. That was about 5 days ago and since then all my fish have got ich, 3 have died and 2 more look like they are about to go, all my corals seem to be doing fine and my anemone seems fine, which i cant understand how fish would die but corals would be fine or maybe they are about to go and i dont know it. all my water peremeters are good but my skimmer is pumpin out the black stuff right now... so i dont know what is going on, i dont know what i should do and the guys at the local fish store just want my money and could care less to help me figure this out so im hoping to get some help here. I thank you for any help you can give me and sorry for such a long post.
