All great numbers. You don’t mention how long the tank has been set up, if you used live or dry rock, nor a picture. Everyone will ask for those items as they respond ;)
 
What is the age of your tank? Do you have coraline algae growing on the rocks? What are the beginner sticks that you do have?

Its a little over 4 years old and yes The whole tank is covered in coraline. Even my sump has coraline lol. The back of the tank is completely covered in it. The frags i currently have are Pc rainbow(growing super fast) oregon tort, strawberry shortcake, red monti, purple stylo and night rider.

Pc rainbow Oregon fort and a sc are not beginner frags imo, you should be able to get whatever you want and have luck if they look good.
