Started a nano..seek your advice

[maximus]

Hi friends,

I am abhishek from India.Very much new to the marine hobby.Started with a nano (I know its wrong but I have done some homework)...

It has been five months since I have set up my tank.

Tank :- 24 in x 15 in(Width) x 12 in (H)= 15 gallons.

Sump :- 24 in x 12 in x 12 in = 10 gallons.

Skimmer :-Reef Octopus 110.

Filteration :-Cheato, skimmer , 15 kgs of liverocks and 5 kgs of live sand from the mid ocean.

Dosing :-No dosing . Only 5 gallon water change every week. Vodka dosing done .

Nitrates :- 0.(API)

Phosphates :- 0.(Salifert)

Lights :-As of now using a 70 W MH 6500K bulb.Will have custom made LEDs in a couple of weeks.18 3 W Cree XPG and XP-E leds ( 9 whirte and 9 blue) with 60 degree optics.

Chiller :- Haven't yet connected but got a second hand Hailea 1/4 HP at a cheap rate.

Livestock:- 1 true percula clown, 1 clarkii clown , 1 yellow watchman goby, 2 feather duster worms.

As of now having only a mushroom as I am awaiting my LEDs.Got a big zoa rock but it just melted away for I suspect its nudis which did so.Newbie so couldn't save it.Today morning found it all white .

I am aiming at a simple zoanthid garden with some LPS.

Will get the corals once I have the proper lights.

Wanted to know if you all always dip your corals before introducing in the main tank?

Will post pics once I have my new lights.Hoping for some help .

If you can afford it, dip your corals into Coral RX before putting into your tank. It will help alot ..
