Hey everyone. I am a new member here so hopefully I am posting to the right place. I just wanted to get input on my tank and see if I'm doing things the right way.

I setup my nano Fluval Spec V mixed reef tank about 6 months ago. I am currently running an AI Prime HD. Schedule is below

I just ramped it up yesterday from this

Is this too quick of a ramp up for one? My corals growth is fairly slow. Parameters are below

Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
Calcium: 370
Mag: 1200
dKH: 8
Temp: 78.6
SG: 1.026

I am mainly looking for any tips or help bringing the best growth to my corals. My bioload is below:

Snowflake oscellaris clown
Tail spot blenny
Pistol shrimp goby pair
8 lbs live rock
Live sand
5 red leg Cortez hermits
Two astrea snails
1 small RBTA
1 staghorn acro
1 JF red dragon acro
1 red monti
1 rainbow monti
3 10 polyp groups of zooanthids
1 small birds eat
1 small galaxea coral
1 small play group
1 small orange favia

Welcome to R2R! I don't believe your ramp time is off. Keep an eye on your tank to see how things react and try to get a PAR or LUX meter to measure your light intensity. Go Slow!
