Hi I am new to salt water tanks been in the hobby for about two and half years now. Started with a 5 gallon that I got already established from someone. Had no clue what I was doing and 6 months in the tank started to have issues. I learned the tank might have been to small for the inhabitants so now I have a 40 gallon Aquatop cube AIO that has been running for about 18 months. I don’t do anything fancy simply do weekly 10 gallon water changes and tank maintenance and so far things have been great coral growing seems to be stable. I really wish someone would have warned me about how addicting this hobby is. I absolutely love it. I really like zoas and mushroom coral they are my favorite.

Hi and welcome ,hope all is ok.
I'm loving zoas at moment and only early on as only really just started stocking corals and got 7 different kinds of zoas and wanting a zoa garden off course ^_^
Good luck with your tank and keeping it simple
Works very well for most I see
