FLUVAL 5 gallon spec v setup

[Nick Mazzone]

Setup this tank. Has 1 maroon and 1 Wyoming white, yes there getting along. Couple questions.... I added the recommended amount of fusion 1 and 2 and trace elements. How often should i add fusion 1 and 2? How do i grow more coraline? I have a quad t5 fixture coming in the mail as well as a zoa and a small Bubble tip anemone. What other corals could i add with this light? 2 10k bulbs and 2 actinic.... Give me some pointers!... I plan on getting rid of the maroon and getting a oscellaris clown for them 2 pair or another Wyoming white. Heres some pics

You shouldn't need to dose Fusion 1 or 2, nor do you need to dose trace elements. Your tank doesn't have anything that's using up any of those solutions. In a tank that small, doing a 2 gallon water change will replenish trace elements as well as keep your alkalinity and calcium where they need to be. You don't ever need Fusion 1 and 2. The way to grow more coralline is to wait. It'll grow on its own. Instead of thinking about what corals you can fit under the light fixture, research coral types and find what you like. Then see what PAR level it needs and see if your lights can produce that PAR.
