I'm gonna take that out right now Jeremy. I was gonna put 2 clowns once the cycle is done. Idk what kind of cuc im gonna get yet but I was thinking of ordering some online if anyone knows a good site? I'd appreciate it. I always wanted to put some soft corals not quit sure what kind would be best for a newbie so if anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.
Carolina reef I plan on getting a new skimmer asap. I will definetly keep you all posted thank you for the questions and feedback

*Welcome to Reef2Reef, aquaman89 !* I would do a little water change and/or add some carbon to your system to lower the ammonia.Also it is very hard to see what is in the last picture.It may be sea button snails or sponges,not a problem.Nudibrachs usually come with coral so dip everything before you add it to your aquarium.
