deepgreen, i suggest you start over. take the fish back to the LFS. 10days into it, IMO, its better and quicker to just restart. basically a 100% water change with RO/DI water. test your salt mix to get a base line on levels and make sure your not adding anything bad. add something like a deli shrimp to get, keep, the tank cycling.

give this a read Newbies, a little something on cycling/breaking in a new reef tank. might help you come with a plan
