Disaster Almost

Disaster almost struck this morning. My girl and I went to a LFS yesterday to pick up a small CUC. A couple hermits and a couple snails.
However, I ended up going a bit over board. Should I say, the gf went overboard. She wanted to buy fish. So I said okay. As long as you're buying lol.
I got 4 small red legged hermits, 3 turbo snails, A 16ct colony of some nice zoanthids, And (Here we go) A 6" sailfin tang, two 4" yellow tangs and a 4" brown tang. I have nine tanks in all at home so I planned to have them all in separate tanks. With the exception of my living room DT with the sailfin and a yellow. I got home and placed everything in a 70gal QT but eventually moved the CUC and zoa's to the reef after a couple hours.
I woke up this morning to see my reef water a tad cloudy and most polyps closed up as well as Aiptasia on the snails, hermits and zoas. I don't know how I didn't notice that before. But that's minor for now.

Now, I bought these four fish because I think I was getting a steal for em. The're very healthy and eating well. But I think the bio load became too much in the QT. The water in the QT was very cloudy, I immediately tested the water and everything seemed fine but I couldn't understand why it was cloudy. But instead of doing the sensible thing and do a partial WC, I fished them all out and put them in the container I used to drip them last night, it still had their original water in it. I did that without thinking because the temp in the QT was 85F and the drip container was 81F. When I realized that, I put them in my DT that was 84F. Despite the rapid changes in temp that will soon cause my newbies to get ich. But hopefully I'd be able to prevent that by getting them to eat and supplementing with vitamins and garlic.

I must say that was dumb to do on my path. That's what happens when you wake up at dawn and not thinking at all.
Everything now seems fine with the exception in the Aiptasia. All polyps have opened back up and fish swimming about.
I hope they do well.... I'm worried a bit about the sailfin. He looks kind of stressed and he got a couple bumps and bruises when I was trying to catch him out of the QT.

 

Hope everythinf works out for ya. You already know what you did wrong so no help needed here.

 

Wow man a close one. Very good choice3 of fish. Your gf/wife must make you happy... LOL

 

Man I feel so dumb for doing that.
Yep she makes me really happy.
The guy is getting a new shipment next week so I'll go back for more...;D

 

UPDATE: They are all eating like monsters;D
I just have to watch out for Ich over the next couple of days.
