Losing everything...

Well, something went terribly wrong in the 150 gallon stock tank I was holding my livestock in during the tank switchover. Everything looked fine Monday morning but when I can home from work, all the fish and inverts were dead and all my SPS are RTN'ing. Something caused a major ammonia spike as the water smells really bad.
I'm afraid I'll probably lose everthing. All the corals that were 'hanging on' were transferred to the new cube with about a 50% water change in hopes of saving some of them.
I knew I would lose some livestock during the switchover, but not anything like this. I don't know what I could have done differently.
Days like this make me want to quite this hobby! All the excitement about this new cube, shattered in seconds
I guess I get to start over
I'm too disgusted to post new pics of the set up.
At least the tank and the plumbing is not leaking and it sure looks good

That's a bummer...and you were so close to getting them transferred to the new tank. Sorry to hear about that.
