I'm guessing that mom wasn't doing water changes & regular maintenance. Do some massive water changes to get your water quality up. This method works great @ redcuing the levels of contaminate quickly: An Instant Nitrate Reduction Method - A Multiple Step Water Change Procedure
Just be sure that your salinity & temperature match what you have in the tank.

What type of corals do you keep in this tank ? Oh and welcome back to the world troop (:

Well its all soft coral. And its good to be home no one shooting at me to day, but the wife is not home yet, wait till she see the living room. And mom did not do any water changes at all.

Hello, post some pics!!
How long were you out? I think first off we gotta make sure water params are stable and in good shape. Then go about making sure that theres not so much algae all over the place(if thats the case) then once you know your water is good and conditions are good, start to feed each coral and monitor it and describe to us so we can give opinions. Its gonna be a tuff start.
