Hello. Sharing my adventure with you guys.

Hello everyone. I'm new here and kind of new to doing saltwater tanks. A little about my setup.

I have a very DiY system, Drilled a tank, cut some glass, used silicone to make baffles for a sump.

Tank up top has 20G when the pump is off and the sump has 15 G making it total of 35 gallons.

Display has a Kessil A360X
3 different types of birds nest corals.
1 green torch, supposed to be blue tipped but meh.
1 Rainbow Stylophora.
1 Purple Cadillac Acropora.

2 clownfish
1 cleaner shrimp.

Sump has a Kessil H380
Chaeto a bit bigger than a baseball.
Chaeto about the size of a baseball in a hamsterball.
Green killing machine Uv. Connected to phosban reactor with carbon.
Curve 3.5 skimmer (pump broke so thats out of commission till i get money)


God i wish i had a clean up crew, i dosed pods. They were everywhere then i got a flatworm outbreak, killed all of them with flatworm exit, did huge doses over multiple days up to a week. used the whole bottle on my system... they are gone. But so are most of my pods. I can tell theres still a bunch of pods left and they'll multiple so i'm not worried, and theres amphipods like crazy all over my rocks. But i'm also getting an algae outbreak, its even growing on the chaeto thats not in a hamsterball.
