NEW TO R2R

[BRB]

HEY EVERYONE
JUST WANTED TO STOP BY AND SAY HI.
HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT WITH AQUARIUMS SINCE I WAS YOUNG BUT BRAND NEW TO REEFING. SO ANY TIPS IS ALWAYS GREAT.
CURRENTLY HAVE A 25 GALLON SETUP WITH A 5-10 GAL SUMP THAT I AM WORKING OUT A FEW BUGS TO GET IT WORKING CORRECTLY.
I HAVE SOME RANDOM LED LIGHTS I GOT WITH OTHER PARTS ON CRAIGSLIST, SO I HAVENT FOUND THE BRAND YET, SO I DONT KNOW WHAT I HAVE.
GOT 2 DAMSELS, 2 MANDARINS, A BLASTO, A FEW MUSHROOMS, AND A FEW OTHER PIECES... I WANT TO GET A GOOD MULTI COLORED ZOA / POLYP COLONY GOING.

ANY TIPS TO KEEPING UP WITH KEEPING EVERYTHING STABLE? AS I HAD A MISHAPPEN ABOUT 2 MONTHS FROM SETUP WHEN I FIRST INTRODUCED EVERYTHING TO THE NEWLY CYCLED TANK AND NOTHING LASTED A WEEK... CURRENTLY EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT STABLE AND ALIVE FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW.

ANY SUGGESTIONS ON ANY PARTS, CORALS, LIGHTING, INFO ON NEW REEFING OR ANYTHING PLEASE LET ME KNOW, THANKS...

Welcome aboard! Lighting will depend on what corals you like to have. Softies are low to mid light. Lps is mid. Most sps is high. Also depends on how deep your tank and coral placement. More info on your setup will help

Welcome to R2R! If you want to keep things stable .... do everything slowly to let your system catch up to what your adding. Make a change or addition and wait to let the system stabilize again before adding/changing anything else. Nothing good happens fast! If it happens fast, it made you cry and hurt your wallet. ;)

Welcome!!!! Do you have a steady supply of pods for the mandarins? It might be difficult to keep them in such a small tank. Ask a lot of questions here!

I PURCHASED SOME HERE https://algaebarn.com/product/pods-phyto-pp/
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS A STEADY SUPPLY OR WHAT BUT I PUT THAT IN ABOUT A WEEK AFTER GETTING THE MANDARINS AND SO ITS BEEN A TOTAL OF 4 WEEKS WITH THE MANDARINS.
