    Death to all hard corals in my tank?

    I believe the proper way to test with the API test kits is to look down with the top off the tube, against a White paper to get the correct color. to get the color not from the side. judging by the photo I am guessing they Nitrates are about 10 which is still not bad.

    skimmer question

    I agree with skimmies post let it skim it all out turning it off for it to settle would be the opposite of what the skimmer is supposed to do. remove nutrients. let it run and add fresh salt water as it depletes

    well best to find what placement was in the prior tank place in the best matching spot in your tank after you acclimate and dip it of course at a minimum qt is best practice. but leave it alone and let it settle in then you will see it go back to the upright position. Some corals will take some...

    Creepy crawlers! what to do?!?

    look up copepods or ampipods spelling may be off on those but I am guesssing those are the ant things you speak of... good for the tank ! the other may be a bristle worm also good for the tank just don't touch them.
