Sorry to see this happen....

Please keep an eye on your salinity in the IBC tank. I did the pond thing when I moved and it was testing times watching the sps turn into skeletons due to salinity swings.

What sort of ATO do you have? Anything with a magnet mount should work on the IBC. Mark the tote so you have a reference point. Just make sure you put the outlet above the waterline so it doesn't siphon back.

I am creating heaps of surface agitation because I have the ibc quite deep
The ato uses a float & optical
Eye
The water surface is too unstable to be reading it accurately
So will continue to manually do

I've set the litre meter to Change 100lts a day

That's devastating, sorry to see it.
Any consolation though you guys did a great job of saving all your fish and catching as much water as you did.

I know it's still early days but how are the corals doing?
Terrible
Our light blew - we are waiting for a replacement - got fried
I think Lps will be ok but sps is already showing signs of rtn
So will probably lose it all
:(

Oh i can imagine how sick you must be feeling.
Such a tragic end to a fantastic looking tank.
Please take solace that this was one of my favorite tanks.
