I do have a lid. I used to have the light about 13 inches above the tank but it is currently prob 9/10 inches. Idk why but over time everything started begging for more light. I add one drop of fuel(amino acids) daily. I feed my fish and lps pellets every two or three days. I feed pellets with a turkey baster and make sure that each pellet makes it way to a mouth. I actually feed the fish above the lps so that any that he misses might make its way to the lps. I’ll add a literal drop of oyster feast that same day I feed pellets so that the tank a little dirtier. I broadcast/direct feed reef roids 2/3 hours before my 100% water change which is once weekly. After the water change I’ll add 5 drops of amino acids and 3 drops of oyster.
While this works for my tank, please please please make very small adjustments over time. This is the sweet spot for my tank. Every tank is different. I started with just reef roids once a week and worked my way to this feeding schedule over 6 months. The first change I’d make if you aren’t doing it is dosing amino acids. They’ll make everything’s growth in the tank really take off.
This is exactly what im doing reef rpids once a week about 2 hours or so before a full waterchange. I do have one fish and he gets frozen mysis every other day give or take. My light is about the same height maybe a little higher. Ill look into the amino acids. Thanks for your response! Heres a pic for reference
. I plan to donate it back and get a clown goby as well.That’s a good call. I’d recommend a clown goby, warpaint goby, or a new goby. I love my warpaint. He looks really cool and has a lot of personality. If I’m at my desk he’s always perched and watching me. I have two snail and two or three tiny hermits. I have a lot of hitchhikers in there too. Spaghetti worms, pods, mico starfish, etc. but that’s it.
Very nice! I like that rock work.This is exactly what im doing reef rpids once a week about 2 hours or so before a full waterchange. I do have one fish and he gets frozen mysis every other day give or take. My light is about the same height maybe a little higher. Ill look into the amino acids. Thanks for your response!

I’ll tell you my dream at this point is to have a nice big hefty shelf with a bunch of pico jars on it. I’d love to make species specific tanks. I think a anemone tank with a baby clown would be really cute. But I’d have to trade in the clown when ever it outgrown the space. I think if I start another jar anytime soon I’m gonna do a ricordea only tank. I’m got a collection of about 9/10 different colored ricordea already for it.
That would be awesome lots to keep your attention. Then when people ask you what size tank you say 50 gallons lol just in 10 different tanks.
Lol right? One day I’ll make all these tanks.
I can tell photos are NOT doing this justice.the tank is about 8 months old now. Just a air stone and heater and weekly water change. Adding some sexy shrimp tomorrow.
If anyone wants to suggest the amount of sexy shrimp they think this jar can support please speak up.
Lol I’ve got some I need to bake actually!
