Hello All, just introducing my self. I`m a novice reefer, 2 weeks in to setting up a new Fluval Evo 13.5G - I`m using all the stock equipment but with an additional power head. I have seeded the tank with live rock and sand and a few hermits and a cleaner shrimp. Also a couple of (very!) small soft coral frags from eBay. Everything seems to be going well although I do have a brown algae bloom which was growing at an alarming rate! I had a minor panic when reading into this as I had used tap water to start the tank and read that silicates can be a major algae nutirents - I have now done a 100% change with RO water from my lfs so we`ll see if that makes a difference - I do think the corals look a bit happier as a result.
Once question for all of you more experienced folk - how long will it take my little frags to grow? not sure how many to get.
Loving the experience so far, many hours spent staring into the tank and admiring my little critters
