Looks good bro. What is the orange coral on the right behind the liverocks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice to know that good job! Red sea star are not very difficult to upkeep IMO. take note to acclimatize them properly. They are sensitive to sudden changes in water condition be it salinity, ph or even oxygen level. usually a more mature tank is required for keeping them. It also feed on algae. Your rocks in the pic look too clean for them. Since u are keeping anemone I suggest u don't add this seastar. There's a chance that they eat your anemone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

U mean ultralith can't handle phosphate properly even with use of ultraphos? And in what way can zeolight with use of RV and coral balance helps in phosphate ? Even after use of RV and coral balance handle phosphate again what is going to deal with nutrient or it can handle both ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow!! Bell that's a blue tip rtba[emoji33] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi bro, Shrimps I'm not sure. I can't have shrimps inside my tank cos will most likely end up in one of the wrasse stomach [emoji40] The sick anemone as long as it's feeding it will be alright. Leave it to recover. I had 1 before and was also sick until it went under a pcs of rocks. I tot it will melt away however after months it's still there. Tried to flip the rock so that the RTBA receive light but it move over another pcs of rocks. *headache* If u are worried about the pale out color that will required some times for it to come back depending on water condition. My understanding is that anemone are not the easiest to take care animal. Required matured tank bla bla bla. I have my phobia on anemone, apparently my own experience is that each and anemone (RTBA) behaves differently some prefer low light some high light and also waves etc I can never figure out what they really want.

Looks ok to me except that it's a little bleach Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed that Elos is a premium brand. Can't argue on that. However most led available in market today usually have that function when u can set it to auto on and off some with sunset sunrise mode. For your case since u already got it let it run on a timer to on and off. Livestocks will need a constant light on and off so that they function properly. As for your wavemaker, is it because u placed it too low or power set too strong and shifted your sand. I suggest u start a tank thread list down all the equipments u have and also your full tank shot FTS easier for us to help identify your challenges. Usually it's quite normal for wavemaker to shift your sandbed here and there. If it's too much of an issue why not try relocating your corals to another position ? Shrimps with egg!! I never have the luck to see that so in all honesty I don't have an ideal how to deal with it haha I guess I will be happy if I see something like that in my tank it means food for my fishes and sps maybe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems like u are struggling to keep your reef going don't worry it's part of the learning. Keep up the good work so far. Based on your picture apart from the cooked prawn incident your tank is good great for a new hobbyist. Let try to answer some of your questions if I miss out anything u need to know let me know again. Distill water vs ro or rodi to me there is no break even point. If u are going to keep this hobby going in long run invest in a di unit or rodi it's even better especially so when u want to venture into sps in near future Light- depending on what u really like. Led or t5 don't waste time and money buying those unknown brand. Rather invest in a reputable brand. If u like LED for your tank side AI prime makes a good choice IMO. T5 I'm not sure if ATI have one that's suitable for your tank (research on your own) Anemone- it's in a bad state u know your mistake which is good ( excellent learning curve I would say. Now u know anything not sure we are always here to help you. No question is stupid question) but for now I suggest u leave it is at where it hides to. It's trying to recover. Yes providing them good water parameter and feeding them meaty helps them in recovering. But do NOT feed it everyday!! U will kill it. Once a week will be more than sufficient. Do not try to make too big a chance in adjusting your water parameter. Trust me big swing in parameter does more harm than good it's something new hobbyist must learn to control. Big water changes in an attempt to correct parameter is also the same. To control your no3 and po4 apart from controlled feeding u may want to consider nutrient export method either via growing of Cheetos in your sump(light must be provided for them to grow), biopellets, or via probiotic means(uses bacterials to consume both no3 and po4 but there's more to it. Do some research and ask question to better understand how it works before u decide) po4 can also be easily reduced/controlled via means of Po4 removal media eg: Rowaphos run in a reactor or put them in a bag and place it in your sump with high flow area. Take note that such media are dusty so read the instruction carefully to prepared the media before adding to your tank. That hard shell anemone worm is actually called a tube worm a beautiful addition to reef tank For your mg testing using salifert. For me I take the reading when it turns 100% pink use that to determine. No hobbyist test kit can provide u 100% accuracy. So no need to go around chasing for those PERFECT numbers. I'm not saying u don't need to achieve those numbers just that there is no perfection. For me as long as they stay within the range I'm will leave it then to try and make adjustment. Also basic important parameters to keep as constant as possible are mg,ca and kh Recommended reading would be Mg 1280-1380 (some reefer kept it at 1500) Ca 380-450 Dkh 7.7-10 Feel free to drop me a pm if I didn't reply to your thread here incase I miss it Happy Reefing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
