My first reef tank. 10 gal

[hokey11]

Been in the freshwater game for about 8 years now. Started our first reef tank this year. Running the 12” Ai coral grow. Jebao SLW-3 wave maker. There’s a pair of black snowflake clowns a fire shrimp and 3 scarlet hermit crabs. And a snail my LFS gave me. Almost looks like a nerite. Bit of a steep learning curve figuring out par. Caved and ordered a nice par meter. I know I need to move my one kryptonite but it’s glued and when I moved the last one it became very unhappy. I’ll keep updating with pictures.

*Update* 8/13/23 Tank is doing great! Lost a trumpet coral a month or two ago after trochus decided to repeatedly bulldoze it, but it has been replaced with another beautiful two tone trumpet. Added some smaller trochus and moved the big boy into the QT tank until the trumpets are a little more stable. Added a few blue legged hermits. Noticed what I believe is a spaghetti worm but it doesn’t seem to be bothering anything and isn’t taking over the tank. Keeping an eye on it though. Our nem just split this afternoon, both nems look nice and happy.
