Thought I would document my experience here. I started my first tank I've ever owned 3 months ago. Did a lot of research and this is what I have come up with so far. Haven't had any coral deaths, the only issue I have run into is a death of a royal gramma (not sure why). I do have some sort of brown algae growing on some of my rocks but not too noticeable.
