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

Seems fairly hard trying to manage a mixed reef so I might go full sps

also going to rescape my tank with new rocks, any tips? scared of it crashing

also added a powder blue tang to the tank, yellow tank is about an inch bigger but didnt care when it was in the box but now that its out it is constantly trying to tail whip it.

how long will this last?

 

[anthonys_aqua]

anybody got tips on rescapes? going to remove probably half of my rocks and add new ones

Also a while ago I got my lid from clearview and its pretty shit for the price you pay
Also needs on a light mount, I know hanging is ideal but I dont trust myself in drilling the ceiling and not getting a stud etc, for now theyve ben on this ghetto pvc stand I made

Just added a Yellow Tail Tamarin Wrasse, tiny about 2"

Didnt do any research into their size and just saw they get up to 8"
anybody have any experience with them?

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

Tank update

Added some fishes in about 2-3 weeks ago and so far so good after the velvet outbreak

Nutrients have been dipping a lot so I’ve been dosing ammonium bicarbonate
