Thanks everyone! It's great to be a part of such a wonderful support group and know that brilliant minds are just a click away! I don't know what I would have done without RS. Special thanks to Bluespotjawfish. Her PM's have helped to get me through this.

The tank is still not 100%, but it so much better now than this morning. The new clam is in the tank, open to all its glory and responsive to movement outside the tank. The new mushroom rock is in and they are also open. Blue Spot is in the QT. He was just breathing too heavy in the display. I feel like there is somehow a lack of oxygen in the display. I was told by the makers of the heater that the fish were not electrocuted. I don't know why? He said something about arcing and carbon compounds. Possibly that used up all the oxygen. The ammonia spike was from the skimmer overflowing and what little skimmate was in there went into the sump. The fish were all gasping for air and stunned. They were all easy to catch, putting up no fight. The Yellow Tang died in the last hour. The Royal Gramma is coming around. I'll keep you posted.
