Brand new to reef keeping. Ive a TMC First Wave 78, set up since 8 June, no alternations to it, just as it came out the box while i learn, with plans to upgrade next year to a much larger setup

Currently going through a brown phase, although it is clearing and just starting to add stock; we've a skunk cleaner shrimp, 2 scarlet hermits, 3 tri-coloured hermits so far.

Corals we have 2 x mushrooms, a hammer, and a small Zoa frag

In my Quarantine tank we have a Bi coloured blenny, a firefish, a kenya tree, a green star polyp rock and a larger zoa garden with a few different colours on it; just purchased yesterday.

Parameters are:
Temp: 25.2
PH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0.1
nitrate: 25
Phosphate: 0.03
KH/Alkalinity: 8

(Ive ordered more of the test kits for calcium and magnesium; using salifert tests)

Im excited to learn a lot from you knowledgeable lot!
