Don’t worry about the ornaments people use them what’s your lighting like?
They use them until they don’t.

https://www.googleadservices.com/pa...dIJyARFXIp9hc0Z7LCz3Px6HsANeB-pflLS8-IMpDZXI& this is the kit I got I couldn’t find the light sold separately anywhere barely any information on it
okay so multiple things going on here your going to need to upgrade your lighting asap if you want this nem to survive they need high par values so with a very new system + inadequate lighting is causing big issues and stress the best thing you can do right now is give away or drop a bit of money on new lighting

The odds a solo piece of plastic killed all those fish over night is unlikely I know people with these in tank and their system is fine it’s about personal preference if that’s what they want then let them do it right now the issue is the nem not the decor

Ok so tonight I’m going to research on lighting do you have any recommendations on a 13.5 gallon tank for the lighting or which light should I get? Also I’m am extremely new to this so if you have any suggestions please feel free to send them through

Look through peoples build threads that have a 13.5 gallon tank I’m not sure what lights work best on them unfortunately I do see people using ai primes but there costly maybe @SauceyReef can give you some ideas they have a nice mixed reef 13.5 build going

Don't feed it until it's established in your tank. Leave it alone and provide good living conditions.
I fed my Kenya tree phytoplankton like 3 days after was that okay or should I hold back a little on that too?

Sheesh 250$ for a tank light is a little pricey is there any cheaper options
This is a good light for a nano tank. They are a sponsor here if you want to check out their forum section.
