I have a nano reef tank but have also recently learned on a reef discord I was mislead by my fishstore and have been doing a lot wrong. I want to learn and make sure I can do what I can for what I now have. You can ask anything and I will try my best to answer honestly. I have heard R2R is really nice and understanding so despite reservations I am posting this.
I have a 4 month old 10 gallon with about 20 dwarf seahorses, 2 clownfish, a goby, 3 blue legged dwarf hermit crabs, a lettuce sea slug, a snail, 2 yellow finger Gorgonians, a red carnation coral, 1 sick and possibly dead goniopora, a large kenya tree, two star polyp frags, a clove polyp frag, and a mushroom. I also have a couple more pieces of coral and a dwarf pipefish on the way. I am switching the seahorses, pipefish, and some of the coral to a 5 gallon as soon as I get it cycled with live rock/sand. I am reluctant to give up my seahorses/clownfish to anyone else but also don’t want to give the fish store that mislead me so bad anything back. I would go to a different fish store but it’s the only one in my small town.
I would give you the tanks current parameters but the store told me I could use my freshwater api test kit on it so I don’t have anything to test with. I have already ordered the salifert Nitrate, Phosphate, Calcium, and Alkalinity test kits. I just need to wait for them to get here. If you want to give me a list of essentials that would be nice. I want to confirm I have everything either here or on the way here. I am going to read the pinned threads but figured it couldn’t hurt to post this as well.
