Heyo! Been wanting a saltwater tank for years and I finally got around to it in July. It’s a Fluval Evo 13.5 unfortunately we are experiencing a slight macro issue atm. I’m not done with livestock yet but I’m planning on a Bangai cardinal a cleaner shrimp and some corals to go along with my duster worm (Plumette yes I like Disney) who is currently hiding because Yeray my Turbo snail got a little too close and 5 tiny blue leg hermit crabs who I’m collectively calling the Blue Crab Group.

Welcome aboard!!! Nice to have you. Not to scare you but you may possibly have dinoflagellates as I see bubbles up there with the green. Could be green hair algae. We have a section on this forum called nuisance algae. Perhaps you can take some clearer pics and start a thread there. I’d hold off adding corals if you’re planning on it. Seems like you’re going for fish. Good luck! We all deal with algae issues here.
