Default Emergency help need advice!

I just had my nanotank get a fan slammed into leaving a hole and crack all the way down the tank. (It was 10 gal) I got a new tank from walmart and 10gal of water, and now I need instructions on what to do with my rock and my sand and my snails and my pepperment shrimp.


Help ASAP!!

Sorry to be so dense, but what's the question? I would just set the tank back up. No fault : no foul.

seperate the fish and corals if you have them in a seperate container. Put your sand and rock in the new tank and let it settle. get a filter running on it somehow and test for ammonia and nitrates. When levels are good re acclimate the fish

+1, just re-locate the fish and corals when the parameters in the new tank are right for several days
