The original reef tank was about a 1 year old. This would be better
compare
with a 100% water change.

Copper - Pretty high, high enough to kill things. From tap water.

Did you say that you have copper in your system? That's a big problem
if you want to keep inverts alive! Any detectable copper is bad. I would run
some poly-filter to remove what you have after doing a water change & start
getting your water from a water store or better yet invest in an RO/DI unit.

Sounds to me like you're moving WAAAAAYYYYY too fast. 8 days into a
new tank and you're putting in inverts and corals???? I waited 9
months from addition of water to my first coral. And it was just a
silly little mushroom. This is not a hobby for the impatient. You
need to give a tank a lot of time to become established and get
settled in before you can expect sensitive creatures to thrive.
