This is my first time posting. I’ve had this tank running for about a year. It’s a fluvial flex 15 gallon tank that I had originally planned to do fish only and have been doing that until my little cousin dumped a whole jar of food into my tank while I was away for The Weekend .. (he’s 5 years old.)anyway, that was a month ago and the only fish that survived was a tiney YWG. I have 3 snails, a Halloween hermit crab and 2 blue legs. (The dry rock has been in the tank for a month but behind that are some older pieces of LR that I had previously)
So now that I have a fresh start. I would like to do corals. My questions is, are my lights sufficient? I run a nicrew 50 watt LED and it’s connected to a timer that runs from 2pm-12am. (10 hours) I do not have control over ramp up or ramp down atm. (Lights are ran blue 40% and white 40% there’s some reds, greens and yellows in the mix) anything above 40% seems way to bright -please see the picture that is pinned with this post :)
My second question is, what are some easy corals that would do well and are not overly sensitive to my lighting. ( I’m considering zoas) also how many different types of coral could I fit into the tank? I do not want them battling for the limited space.
I would eventually like to add another fish since my YWG is only an inch and a quarter long atm and the tank seems devoid of life. (The YWG is a big hider and has his cave). I want to max fish out at 2 and my question is, what would be a good center piece fish that sims out in the open or is super active?
I’ve been doing a ton of research and it’s a lot to take in. I’m excited to hear what you guys think. I really appreciate the read and I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. Thank you!!!
