Hello everyone 
Tank: 25G/90L Waterbox Peninsula 25
Inbuilt Sump: Slotted surface baffle to 2.75" 225 Micron filter sock, Bioballs micron bag, Activated carbon micron bag, 100W Heater, Tunze 9001 Skimmer, Smart AutoTopOff lite, 1000lph Aquaone return pump[I replaced a 1000lph return pump that came with the tank because it was really loud and would vibrate heaps if I turned my air-conditioner on.] The new 1000lph pump seems to flow less but makes 0 noise.
In-Tank Equipment: 2-4 inch crushed coral sand-bed, Dry white rock, SicceVoyager2-stream pump.
Livestock Post-Cycle:
1st Month: 2" Percula Clown
2nd Month: Bicolor Goby bought with Green Tipped Torch Coral bought with Neon Green Fungia Plate Coral.
3rd Month: 2.5" Firefish/Dartfish
4th Month: Small 1" Oscellaris black/white clown with Single Blastomussa Polyp frag bought together with My Chalice Coral.
I recently got my 4th coral about 4 months into the hobby being a Chalice Coral. I really got it because I wanted to challenge myself with something new and with a moderate care level. I'm somewhat regretting my decision because the Chalice doesn't look too good. Some of the flesh has thinned out, I can't really tell if the polyps are okay but haven't seen anything extend and I'm sure everyone has heard the phrase by now, "Nothing good happens fast in a Reef tank". All my other Corals look incredible, my Green Tipped Torch has deepened in colour and has grown a lot since I got it as well as my Plate Coral. I will edit this when I find my phone to share some pictures of Day 1 when it went in-tank and a current situation photo.
I also wanted to ask, would it have been normal in the hobby to keep a Chalice Coral say 20 years ago? Just so I can understand how difficult they are to keep?
