I started a 34 gallon reef tank 2 months ago, went thru a velvet fish wipe out, now waiting for the 6 week fallow period to end (in 2 weeks...yay!) so I can add 2 fish that I have in qt tank that are looking good! I have 2 nems (ones been hiding under a rock since I got it 2 weeks ago) and some green star polyps. I love this hobby, but I cant lie, it's been a steep learning curve and not over yet, im sure!!

Looks good but definitely keep an eye as your tank parameters are fluctuating. Nem needs a tank that’s 6 moths or older

Thank you, I learned so much from you guys, deeply grateful for all the info out here. The tank is situated across from my couch, I watch that thing like a hawk and pull a test, if something's off, I do a 20% water change. A big problem in my small tank is flow, either not enough or too much, this nem hates 2 much flow and bcoz of the 2 wheel hob bio filter, theres often too much . It is happiest with the hob filter off but then I end up with this dark red spiderweb bacteria. Yday nite, I stopped the hob bio, hence the happy camper!
