I have had this going for about 8 months now.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

First tank.

Sorry for the glare and reflections, I need a backing on my tank.

Please ignore the 2 sick corals in there, LFS gave them to me to see if I can bring them back.
didn't even notice they were there to be honest 🤣
I get die off frags from my lfs sometimes too, its always nice when I can save them especially when they sometimes color up to be a really nice coral
 
awesome! are you planning on adding any more fish in addition to the clownfish?
They were hiding for the pic but other than the 2 clowns I have:
Coral Reef Beauty
Firefish
Exquisite Fire Fish
2 watchman gobies with pistol shrimp
Royal Gramma
Sand Sifting sea star
Rainbow BTA
snails, halloween crab, blue legged hermits, and tons of nassarius snails (they are spawning)

I had 7 blue/green chromis but they just bullied everyone in the tank. Now that I got rid of them, everyone comes out more.


I learned I like corals more than fish so I probably won't be getting any more.

you have a very nice fish combo, nice personalities and nice color and activity
any dream coral you want to add?

I'm starting to like some of the Acans, Favia, and the plating coral.
I have a little girl and she wants everything I get to be rainbow colored, so I'm trying for that.

I have a small 2 head acan, a small neon green spiral plate coral, and a spotted neon sky blue crusting type of coral that I spend most of my time just starring at over everything else I have.

I know It's not colorful but I would love to grow some Elkhorn (Acropora palmata) or staghorn (Acropora cervicornis)

I want a clam too.

unfortunely acropora palmata is extremely hard to come by if it is even still coming into the hobby, but branching montipora like setosa and digitata can be similiar, as far as rainbow coral there are thankfully some good variety that are stunning like all kinds of rainbow acros and rainbow acans, as far as rainbow acans its very common for newly brought in ones to shift colors most of the time to orange or other generic color combos and is common practice to buy some that have already been established, top shelf aquatics has some really nice rainbow acans like my personal favorite "sugar rush" acans, as far rainbow acros they can be really nice from tons of different vendors at different price points and different species
