Hey everyone,
I’ve started my new reef tank after converting from keeping african cichlids, and it’s been nearly two months since filling up. I went through some phosphate issues at the start but now they’re down to a healthier level and I have a few fish in there and some corals. Feel free to ask any questions as well to give some feedback 😊

For livestock I currently have a yellow coris wrasse/banana wrasse, a clownfish pair (ocellaris), and two banggai cardinalfish. I have 4 peppermint shrimp, a few turbo snails and other cone snails idk the name of properly haha. I also have a strombus snail and tuxedo urchin.

Corals:
- Mini zoa garden including a few zoas, I only know the name of the scrambled egg zoa and the pink zipper zoa.
- Firework polyps
- Green finger leather
- Green hammer
- Toadstool leather
- Green torch
- Acan
- Favia
- Australophyllia Wilsoni
- Duncan
- Jack O Lantern


 
This is awesome! Everything looks so happy and healthy in your tank. Seriously, this is awesome for only 2 months! Well done!
Thank you haha!! The torch isn’t the happiest but to be honest, it is a torch. I am going to dip it this afternoon in a special dip thingo cause there is a single polyp that looks like a snapped human arm if yk what I mean lol.

What's not healthy about it? Just that tentacle? That's normal sometimes.
