    Yowza. Always get the salinity correct in your new water before you pour it in. As said above, circulate the new water for a 1/2 day at least before you add to the tank.

    Are you using tap water? (had to ask)

    Ok thanks for all the info. I think I might have to start over. Kenya tree perked up a little but all the other coral are almost dead. My water has gone to cloudy. I tested and everything is fine but nitrites are a tad high. My fish look like they are gasping so I don't think they are gonna make it. I went and got some active carbon and put that in there and some kent water clarifier. I guess now I just have to wait
