I have had a 15 gallon fluval flex set up for about 8 months. I have put this tank through the ringer with an extreme hair algae outbreak, an anemone death, and swinging salinity.
The hair algae i solved with a water change and a handful of hermit crabs. The salinity swinging was in the first twoish months only because I did not realize how fast salt evaporates. The anemone death only scared me majorly a month after the death. I learned that a death like that could’ve killed my whole tank and I felt super lucky.
I only have about $100 invested in corals. Everything else was given/thrown in by some amazing hobbyists. I am in love with every coral I have and my two amazing clowns.
I am looking forward to many more years of reef keeping to come! Here are some of my favorite recent pictures. Any concerns, advice, or anything is appreciated
