Hello everyone I'm still new to the saltwater hobby. I've had this tank since July 2018. Was perviously setup by someone else. And then neglected for 3 weeks and the only thing that lived was the 3 clowns. I have slowly brought her back to life which is astonishing to me have no pior knowledge of saltwater.

I do weekly water changes and feed 4 times a week. Since getting the tank I have added all the corals I posted pictures of from a close friends tank. I have also added a red scooter blenny and a diamond back goby.

I have fallen in love with the keeping of everything in this tank. I can't wait for everything to grow and prosper more. I know the most important thing is patience with this hobby.

Welcome to R2R and nice work reviving the tank! Only recommendation from me is to look into getting a conche. Awesome sand bed cleaners. And start a build thread!

Welcome to R2R!
I am a little concerned in the looks of your corals as they appear bleached, besides the zoas.

I feel like you are talking about the finger leather. He was in rough shape when I got him. One branch was tucked under a rock and getting no light. So as it began to come back to life it didn't look the best. That picture was about 2 weeks after I got it. I've had it a little over a month now and it looks much better

I had 2 conches. They both passed about a month ago. Unsure as to why though. They where very good sand sifters though for sure. That's kinda why I got my diamond goby. I have one gaint snail, 2 small ones. The big guy loves to rearrange my tank at night so when I get up in the morning Corals are everywhere. Then I have three Emerald crabs one that has no claws, one that has one claw and one that has both claws.
