New member and rookie salty

[JNoyes1026]

Hello all,

I still feel very new to the saltwater game. I have had a Fluval EVO 13.5 running for over a year and went through some major challenges ie. Green hair algae, diatoms, Cyanobacteria, and now red fuzzy algae. I have tried a few corals but no great success. But just got a Fluval flex salt 32.5 gal that someone needed gone cause they were moving. Got a screaming great deal came with power heads, live rock, substrate, mushrooms, devils hand coral, rainbow bubble tip anemone, sally light foot crab, 2 Talbot damsels, and a lawnmower blenny. Anyways looking forward to turning the flex into a mixed reef and the EVO into a QT tank

Welcome! Be sure to ask a lot of questions and definitely touch base if you see any of those uglies creeping back in the new system. We can make sure this new one is a success!

Well update for any interested. Anemone has done almost a full lap of the tank looked sad for a while until it parked but seems really happy now. Today it decided to go on the move again. Also added some frags and everything seems good there. Also learned the importance of a qt I added a fish that I found out too late that it had ick. Lost that fish and one of my damsels. So now I will have a barren tank for 40-50 days.

Going on 8 years for me and I still feel like a noob. Welcome aboard!

Looking for some friendly advice. I have searched forums and looking for some advice on what Salinity tester I should buy but I see lots of people talking about the accuracy of different ones and I am looking for reliable results. Currently I just have the instant ocean float arrow style that I know can be inaccurate due to tons of variables.

Let me know what you recommend

Thank you in advance
