Hello! This is my first saltwater tank. It’s a 25 Lagoon and I plan on going mixed reef with some fish. I have an AI Nero 5 for flow and a Radion XR15. Any tips would be appreciated. I started the cycle on Monday (5/26/25)

That live rock structure is FANTASTIC! What fishes are you planning to put in it? Any Corals? Everything looks solid!

So far my stock list is looking like this

2 bullet hole clowns

Circus goby

Goby/pistol shrimp

Cleaner shrimp

Blue flasher Wrasse

Blue stripe pipefish

Royal gramma

I got the idea of the stock list from Leah’s 20 gallon on the WWC YouTube page

As for corals I haven’t fully decided yet but I am using the tank I mentioned above as a reference point for what I eventually want it to look like. I know I want to have a GSP back wall
