Hello my fellow reefers! Just bought a new house, and of course the first thing I want to do to it, is add a fish tank ( I'm sure you all know the feeling ). I have been running this 60 gallon cube for 3 months now. I have a kessil 360, 300 watt hydro heater , and a marine land filter. All new live rock, live sand. The fish include 2 chromis and a clownfish. Corals include a frogspawn, rasta zoas, some type of LPS, a ricordea, and 2 small BTA.

Things have been going okay with this tank... I am at a spot now where I haven't seen coral growth, and the corals look more closed. I am wondering if anyone has any advice on what percent intensity and what percent color I should run based on my set up?

Do you have a controller for the light? What are you using for flow? How are you water parameters?

Hey congrats on the new tank and house. How are your water changes? The reason I ask is because I dont see a Protein skimmer, so you need some type of nutrient export. Good thing Is I dont see GHA

No, I do not have a controller for the light. I will have to look when I get home. I had a power head that was too strong, so I got a smaller one. My water parameters are spot on ( just got them checked ). I have considered a protein skimmer, but I do a water change every week, and the parameters seem to be perfect. I have a feeling it's either too much or too little light.
