Tank Build

[cactusreef]

Hey everyone. Decided I should finally post my tank. It’s 2 months old. 24 gallon Redsea desktop peninsula.

Recently got over a diatom outbreak and am starting to see coraline show up (very excited). Started with dry rock and other than the obvious ugly phase stuff it is actually not bad. I do 20% water changes every 1-2 weeks. I just switched from LFS water to making my own water and I think that has been an improvement.

My livestock:
2 clowns
1 Pygmy geometric hawkish
1 clown goby
1 Randall’s goby
1 pink streak wrasse
1 pistol shrimp
1 peppermint shrimp
2 red hermit crabs
4 astraea snails
5 trochus snails
2 nessarius snails

Here is my tank the first week of setting it up

Here it is today

I’m already trying to upgrade but I don’t think my wife will go for it….
I am super excited to be in the hobby and it is quickly becoming an obsession. Feel free to share any tips or point out anything I should change.
