I have kept freshwater fish before but this is my first attempt at reefing. Currently there is two clowns, a conch, and some soft coral. Tank has been setup for around 4 months now and I’m doing weekly 5 gallon wc’s with Fritz rpm redline.

Do you have any future plans with your tank?

Welcome to R2R :)

Looks like a good start to me. What gyre is that? II have a biocube 29 and figured they'd be to much for flow in it. But maybe not?
Thanks for the welcome! It’s a hygger 18 watt and It’s almost too strong on the lowest setting I have it off rn cause my mushroom is blowing around.

Wow, Just wow. What type of light do you have?
Thanks. I have the stock Biocube lights but added two 21 USA actinic blue LEDs, the LEDs were added for more blue not par, I hate how washed out the corals color is with the light on full whites. Everything was growing great before I added them.
