Is there anything else that I should add before I add easy care SPS coral?

The lighting includes a 150 watt metal halide and a Current USA Marine LED System.

It the back I have a Berlin Airlift Skimmer, bag of carbon, overflow box, sponge and a 50 watt heater.

I have a 10 gallon refugium with a powerhead, a couple of snails and crabs, a sand sifting star, red knob star, ball of cheato and ulva lettuce.

in the main tank (hidden) I have two koralia powerheads. For current coral, I have zoas, colt, toadstool, ricordia mushrooms, sun and tooth.

Also would it be okay to add a green or rose bubble tip anemone?

Salinity is way to low get it up to 1.025 for sps and like 1.023-1.024 for Lps softies you fine but sps will grow better in a higher salinity...

Okay thanks!

Your rock work is too condensed, IMO. You need more flow. If you're looking for a fast growing SPS get a birdsnest, mine has grown 100-fold on 10 months. It's a pest now under led lights.

 

[buchbinder05]

Okay I'll take some out and put it in the refugium and yeah I really like birdsnest

End product for the display

End product for the refugium

 

[Tank.Bro!]

That's great love it

 

[buchbinder05]

Thanks! Should I sell or trade some of the live rock or should I just keep it in the refugium?

 

[Dustyboots]

Trade.

 

[buchbinder05]

I just got a new refugium light, more plants and a rainbow bubble tip anemone

 

[Vucious]

Why is your water murky? Are you dosing carbon?

 

[buchbinder05]

It's not the camera was just having a hard time with the actinic lights

And in the previous ones I had just moved a bunch of rocks around so it kicked up some sand
