Hi, I'm new here and from Slc, new to the hobby. I bought an established ~30gal tank and added the contents of a small 11g tank I bought later.
I currently have some soft corals, a couple LPS and a few small pieces of sps that were in the large tank. The small tank only had two clowns, some rock and some cuc members.
Livestock wise I currently have
2 Clownfish (Ocellaris?)
3 Pitho Crabs
1 Strawberry Conch
6 Nassarius Snails
4 Turbo Snails
2 Astrea Snails
2 Cerith Snails
1 Rainbow BTA

I also have a little bit of an aiptasia problem I've been working on by injecting lemon juice until I get some berghia.

I keep getting little cyano starts on the sand and am getting a new wavemaker (Jebao SLW20) to improve my flow.
I would love any suggestions, stocking it flow wise.
I'm not sure if have too many cuc members and suggestions for another fish, maybe a red one.

Welcome, glad you are here! Looks like you are off to a great start, I’d suggest a little more rock, preferably live, since it’s your main filtration and to add more hiding spaces.
