Randy is right. I tried to save some money and it cost money in the long run. The carbon I was using must have had some kind of chemical in it and wiped out all the softies.
I just now teated the water and the pH is 8.3, trites, trates and phosphates are all 0. ca is 430 and all new arrivals are doing great. By new arrivals I mean 2 snails and a small yellow polyp rock. The star polyp rock is doing good also. More are starting to come out.
I really appreciate all of the information everyone has offered and this site really is the best!
