Few things, light broke, and new firefish!
Seems like your first tank is going amazing so far! I started a 13.5 gal as my first saltwater tank more than a year ago and I definitely have had ups and downs but it’s doing good now. Keep up the good work man!

try to feed frozen over flakes or pellets, better for the fish and less phosphates and nitrates usually

The firefish is faster than the clownfish, so he always escapes the clown. The clown does kinda restrict him from eating, but he always gets the food that goes in the water column
