What are you looking for? My faves are Achilles tang and copperband. Midas blenny is nice. Current unobtanium is spot face tang

Im having some issues with alk consumption, it seems to be fairly low even though my tank is super packed.
Im getting about a .3 daily consumption, I havent really figured out my dosing at the moment, Im using ati essentials pro #1 and #2
Ive got the calcium dosing dialed in at 12ml daily keeping it at 440, while I was dosing alk at 6ml daily and it would fluctuate. So if anybody uses ATI lmk if you got any tips cause they want me to dose equal parts and that just throws my number off

Also nitrates sitting at 10.6 ppm and po4 sitting at .06 but Im constantly cleaning my glass daily, I keep getting a small amount of green algae growth, anybody know what I can do? scraping a 5 footer is annoying

What is the length of that tank? Treat them like a Leopard/Halichoeres. I think your tank is fine.
