Hey all!
Just got into Saltwater aquariums by purchasing a 10 gallon AIO tank that was started by someone on Craigslist.
It was a good deal and I have been dealing with freshwater / ponds for a while and thought I'd test my luck with Saltwater for a change.
Picked up the tank - they drained it so I didn't check to see how it was before purchasing. On the way back I picked up phosphate test kit, nitrate, RO water, and a Shrimp.
Tank was set up with Xenia gsp, orange burst zoa, red head goby, and snails.
After setting it up, I noticed some of the Xenia is discolored and the orange burst zoa is all but dead.
I'm not worried about money lost as I still think I got a good deal. But I would like to see if it's possible to revive them/ keep them alive.
Looking at the pictures any suggestions and/or are the corals salvageable? I have a pump / heater / light and my only goal is to have as seemless of a tranition from their home to mine.
Just asking for advice - maybe I made some poor decisions but the decisions have been made.
The clear picture is from the Craigslist ad, the others are from me setting it up.
