Was given my very first saltwater tank, can't wait to share it's development and get any advice y'all have for me. Recently rearranged my rocks to make all my inverts happy, new pic attached. Currently have slightly lower UV/V to blue ratio for my lighting with the other colors around 60 for most of the day, with blue being the highest concentration throughout the day. Sunset/sunrise starts at 7am and 7pm and lasts 2hrs. My two jets alternate from day to night on the same schedule as the light changes, varying the flow of the tank from day to night. Both are angled towards the top of the tank in cross directions so there's a lot of indirect current and no surface tension. I use reef code a and b every other day, along with feeding my corals and anemones on Mondays and Thursdays. Current vertebrates are an occy clown, a Royal Gramma, and a lil goby guy. Any invert identification would be appreciated, I only know what one of the anemone and one of the coral are definitively. The lady I got it from didn't give me a lot of information, and the tank seemed pretty close to dying when I got it. Luckily, things seem to be on the ups now and I'll try and keep this updated as I continue working on the tank

Was given my very first saltwater tank, can't wait to share it's development and get any advice y'all have for me. Im considering a slight rearranging of the rocks so my corals are all happy and my green mushrooms don't kill off the other pink guy behind them(still not sure what they are, pics will be attached). Currently have slightly lower UV/V to blue ratio for my lighting with the other colors around 60 for most of the day, with blue being the highest concentration throughout the day. Sunset/sunrise starts at 7am and 7pm and lasts an hour and a half. My two jets alternate from day to night on the same schedule as the light changes, varying the flow of the tank from day to night. One is pointed toward the top of the tank and the other towards the front wall, both breaking surface tension regularly.
