      Emergency corals look dead/closed up

      Hey everyone,

      Recently i bought some biopellets for reactor. Was told to soak pellets over night. My reactor did not arrive next day as i expected, it took about an other week. Biopellets were still in RO/DI water soaking. As I installed reactor a week later using those pellets that were soaking i found my tank just now looking lifeless. Tank was doing great before that. Obviously that change made the diffrence.

      Did I screw up with soaking pellets too long? what should i do?

      Thanks.
