I didn't see the tank yet this morning and I won't be able to do much because I have a thousand "paper" cuts on my hands from the tiny tube worms on the rocks. 
Today, if he is still alive I will bring that Koran Angel to a LFS and hope he takes it.
I had my diatom filter running all night for the fine particles floating all over which looks like powder.
Unless of course my fish are so annoyed at me that they are doing cocaine. I hope not.
I realized last night that there is nothing in the tank for my large, very old urchin to eat so I will get some clams and lettuce, his two favorite foods.
I also hope my 4 pipefish, 2 mandarins and 3 ruby reds find enough pods because the tank is really clean now. Much to clean but I had to do this to get all that sponge out and unfortunately, the algae and food sources went with it. I will throw a bunch of sinking pellets in there to feed the pods.
After I put the rocks and water back in I ran my Diatom filter 7 times to clean it up. I really don't know how people stay in this hobby without one. I could never survive.
I think I went through maybe 8 of them in the years I have been doing this.

The tank is doing well. I just had my arms in it for an hour gluing gorgonians and leathers and "fixing" the rock which is very precarious and I am sure it will fall soon
I added more rock and still have a lot left over that probably won't go in.
Unfortunately I found a dead fish in the vat where I had the rock after I removed it from the tank. It was a cool looking gobi who must have hidden in a rock as I removed it. I didn't even know I had him.
All in all one fish lost isn't all that bad considering all the work I did to this tank yesterday.
It's still a little murky from my hands being in there just now.

Unless you’re the fish!

He is doing pretty good for 74 years old. Some parts of me feel like 20. Like my fingernails.
Thanks, Misled! Good to see you!
Heya John! Good to see you too!

But but but....... you will thank me one day..... .Montepora, Thank you. And remember I am blaming you for this because it was your idea that pushed me to do it.
I would test the water and continue to do more water changes. You have been using NSW for a while and your LR might've absorbed a lot of silicate......................
I hear the courts allow for name changes for pretty much any reason nowadaysOOOOhhhhhNNooo. Silicate...... I hate silicate........ I was going to name my first born after you, but Montepora Baldassano is a little long.
Besides, she is already in her 40s.
