Hi everyone,

wanted to showcase my tank properly in a thread if it's own.

Since starting, it's been quite a rocky ride with multiple fish and coral deaths.

Here is my tank now after about 3 months ++

LS:

Common clown

Orange fire fish

Yasha goby

Yellow wrasse

Tiger pistol shrimp

6 sexy shrimp

Blue linkia starfish

3 snails

and a whole host of pests

Corals

Hammer

2 brain corals ( not doing well at all)

Deresa clam?

Elephant ear

Yuma ( keeps moving)

Green plate

Red mushrooms

Zoas- 3 types ( don't seem to be growing, in fact they are disappearing I think)

Forest fire digi frag( losing its colour but not dying)

orange monti cap frag (seems ok)

Favia(brand new)

I know:( Is it sand space do you think? Meaning it needs a wider circumference around it? I was thinking it's lighting. I need a new light. Was considering the Max glaive. But I think the tank conditions in general are not ideal. The bubble stone skimmer doesn't really skim anything. And being a small tank the parameters fluctuate quite a bit too. But the other corals are fine.*I think ( monti Cap, forest fire digi..) Also need a small chiller if anybody selling one.

Looks like light wattage is not enough. I have two set of seperate 1.5 feet lighting, two T5 tubes aqua zonic and a pro z blue LED. You can borrow them to try for a month to see whether it better your coral.

i don't know but did your tank gone through the cycling? there does not seem like any algae for a 3 months old tank.
Hi bro, your lighting is the issue.. Can you list your equipments so we can help.
Your wave maker ? Looks like you have a lot of debris trap on the sandbed

Thanks for taking an interest guys. To answer a few questions 1. Yeah my tank has alot of algae. All kind. Cyano, green , red bubble, some reason I think chaeto is growing from the rocks..and of course coralline algae. Haha I manage to bleach that too. I don't have a wave maker. The tank is so small I don't think any will fit in it? The lighting came with the tank. Unfortunately the descriptions were in chinese and I'm I had thrown the box away. The tank set is from Jireh though. I can ask them for the info. Andtsg! That would be amazing if I could borrow the lighting! Will post my parameters soon.
