Hello,

I have had freshwater tanks my whole life. Just over the past 2 weeks i decided to venture into salt water. I have been at the mercy of diffrent forum’s to kinda get me started. I am running a
-Fluval flex 15g
-kessil a80 with controller
-sub-par heater
-in-tank media baskets for both chambers
-Aqamai Wi-Fi Controllable Wave maker

I have the tank set up with live sand and love rock. It has been cycling for about a week. My main goal is to have an extensive coral selection. And maybe 1 or 2 small clowns to top it off. My main concerns are the lighting, i would love to be able to keep the original lid. I cut a hole on top just big enought ro mount the A80 on top but it is about 3” for the water surface. If anyone has some knowledge or helpful advice id love to hear.
