So I have been out the hobby for about 3 years now. Long story short my gf bought me a 15 gallon hello reef tank it has been cycled for a little over a month.

Current stock:
2 frost bite juvenile clowns
2 small rbta

Add ons:
Flipper gravity auto top off
Replaced filter sock with filter floss basket

Plans for this tank:
Mixed reef, I know about the movement of bta but I’m pushing the boundaries with this tank, Nems have been in for a week and have stayed put (but am willing to move coral around

Looking great, welcome back!
 
Got 2 new additions in today, diatoms are in full swing and it’s been hard to get clean up crew online without getting way more than I need to cover the minimum shipping amount. But here are a new Goni frag (I couldn’t get off the plug and a green with blue tip torch coral. Been about 3 hours since I received them in the mail and acclimated them. Also I was able to find an astrea and 2 small trochus snails at my local shop

Really need to clean tank but it’s coming along. Slowly raising alk through water changes because I realized I can’t hold aquaforest reef salt mixed long time storage without alk dropping

Some great additions to your tank!
 


Need some ideas for coral to place in the places mentioned in the video
 
Tank as of today, algae has vanished and parameters looking solid

Currently dosing: redsea ab+, 8ml of phyto, 0.01 phosphate daily and all for reef 1ml every other day

Waiting on a lot of coral to come

Got a chance to go to Queen City Corals (about 5 hours away) and it was worth it!

What is the product you’re using for the app ? I just purchased the Hello Reef kit and want to start off right.
