Hello all! I am new to saltwater (have been keeping freshwater tanks for years...). I rescued a Fluval EVO V that was about to be tossed, inhabitants flushed
It came setup as a reef tank with a few LPS corals, a Humbug damsel, some blue leg crabs, and a few assorted snails- I think I see 2 nassarious snails and what I think could be a turbo snail. The tank was in poor shape when I rescued it- green hair algea, high Phosphate levels, low but still elevated nitrates, low calcium levels, etc. There is a decent amount of hair algea. I have been pretty aggressive with partial (1gallon) water changes every few days to try to get things under control and where they should be.
Excited to connect with everyone! Attached are a few photos.
