Welcome to the site!
Wow, it's hard reading you post with no punctuation.
Nine fish in that sized tank is going to be a problem. The grouper needs at least a 300 G tank.
I would start by mixing up some water and do a 30% PWCs until the nitrItes come down. That is a super high number for nitrItes.

[Hecticdude]

7.5 ppm sorry!

[melosu58]

I agree the some frequent PWC`s will be necessary ASAP.

[Kurt_Nelson]

Even 7.5 nitrItes is really high for a tank with rock from an existing tank. Are you sure you don't mean nitrAtes? If so, that's not a big deal.

Regarding advice... I'm not really sure what you're asking about. You're switching tanks - is there something specific you're wondering about?

[Tank2379]

Did you transfer your Old Sand over from your old tank?

[nanoluvr]

I'd look at adding about 65 more pounds of live rock once you get everthing straightened out.

[Hecticdude]

Nitrates

[Hecticdude]

Nitrates,and yes I tran Rock from old tank to the new one,also abt 60 percent of old tank water ,baought new live sand, had sand in old tank abt 1 yr, thought new sand was supposed to be put in abt once a year,any way one of the guys at lfs told me to starve fish for abt 2 days as to not crash the new tank ,doesnt make sense fish are pissed to begin with,lol im not sure what to do,havent aranged anything for fear of stressing the system even more,abit overwhelmed and reallyam getting used to the new tank,other had on autopilot did waterchanges every two weeks feedings were predictable fish were happy. Feel like an idiot!!!

[CaptainAhab]

I missing it, other than your chem params being low being low (unless that's what they were in the old tank) which will stress the crap outta your inhabitants what's the panic? I also prefer my temp to be up a bit.

You say what survived, does that imply some didn't?
