well i drained my tank completely due to the crash caused by the anemone demolished by the powerhead

my question is when can i put all my coral back in i took the lr out and rinsed it in fresh water so when can i put everything back in the big tank and how long do i have to wait to get fish a whole new cycle or like 1 or 2 weeks or what

the rock was just rinsed by dechlorinated tap water and put right back in 28 gallons of freshly made saltwater i had a small die off but it went right down after i added some tlc and biozyme im thinking 5-10 days to add mycorals and then 5-10 days after that to add my pair of clowns
and what do you guys think should i get really nice black onyx perculas or black perculas i would like to add more fish also probably 2 firefish
2 perculasand maybe a couple other small peaceful fish

Why did you FW rince the LR ?
Personally if you just wanted to clean it coulda done that in SW
I dont believe in FW dips lol and will try just about anything to avoid them .
I would agree with your plan ,just test to be sure no amm.
Sorry about the anemone ... i hear all these stories how they get sucked up the phead ....and cant imagine .
Good luck with the clean up !

my tank is going through a mini cycle but other then that all is well i fw dipped just to get anything i didnt want on there off (apptasia)
so it like starting new but not really my ammonia peaked at 1.5 and is going back down so assuming everything goes as planned ill add corals in 5-10 and fish in 10 to 15if all is well and tests are acceptable does anyone else see any problems with my plan
