New reef tank

[Etienne 97]

Its been one week since i have bought my new used tank my nitrate are at 0 my phosphate are at 20 ppb with a hanna cheker i feed 5-6 pallet 2 times a day i have keep a small rock. for filtration i only have a filter socks should i add some biomedia in the middle chamber ? Am planning to change all the aquasquape The sand is caraib sea live sand the cyano is going off slowly i have 2 clown a cleaner shrimp one nasarius snail and 2 hermit crab i would like to add a watchman gobie and shrimp pair also a cardinal or a firefish one of my coral have bail out during the travel should i frag this head ? I have also notice a small red worm good or bad ? Here some picture of before and after

Looks good, I would suggest to add more rock if you want more fish. The rock will help with the increased bioload, and also provide more hiding spots for the fish. No need for biomedia in the filter.

You don’t need to frag the head but I would get the frogspawn off the sand and place it on the rock where it can get moderate flow and light. Corals won’t be happy with zero nitrate . Use a product like this to get them up. I agree that you need more rock.

The currently aquascape is cool. I really like it. Maybe consider adding a little more rock for more room for corals, but keep the negative space scape; it looks great.

I think you can add the watchman and a firefish/cardinal, but make you you have a lid since the gobies will likely jump out.

The red worm looks like a harmless bristle worm. You can keep or remove it.
