Alright if anybody is still following along I have pictures to show and I could use some help. The tank is about 3 months old now. The stock is growing slowly ($$$ ya know?) and the algae is growing faster.
Current stock list:
5 blue green chromis
2 banggai cardinals
1 yellow watchman goby
1 pistol shrimp
2 ocellaris clowns
2 skunk cleaner shrimp
Around 20-25 snails between nassarius, turbo, and margarita
10 blue leg hermits.
Here's the tank as of a few minutes ago:
