Hello everyone! Just wanting to introduce myself here, my name is Reichel (Rachel) and I setup my first reef tank (fluval evo 13.5) in Sept. 2021, now I have a clown fish, an orchid dottyback, an emerald crab and a nassarius snail! I have a cabbage leather coral and two green striped mushroom coral I got two days ago, they came out immediately and seem pretty happy? I think! I hope! I am pretty proud with how my tank is doing! I'm using the stock light but want to upgrade the lighting eventually, and hopefully the lid too since I have bad evaporation in my house.

I do 25% water change once a week too.

I'd appreciate any light, general or lid replacement recommendations! TIA!

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Was told by seller it is Cabbage Leather Coral (Sinularia brassica), I am totally not experienced with coral so that's great that it looks healthy!
