Inherited this tank about a month ago, so far been doing well.
Ive had freshwater tanks for years but this is my first saltwater tank.
Currently running 2 kessil a160s
I Really want to make these corals and mushrooms explode, i love the mushrooms. If anyone has any advice on how to give them the best life that would be great, or feel free to point out anything you see i may be doing wrong! Tia

Your mushrooms look like they're doing good. Stable water parameters, flow and lighting are the best things you can do to ensure the happiness of your corals. I find I don't need to feed my mushrooms much - just Reef Roids and some plankton once a week.
 
Water changes will do you some good at replenishing nutrients and diluting anything bad. As long as you have nutrients and good light, the coral will do their thing. That is all I have ever done and never feed my coral in my nano. In the last 9 months my 6 ricordea have turned into 17. Had a few Zoa turn into over 200 zoa in that time frame too. Beyond that it is just patience and letting them fill in and pop.

little over stocked, the water changes are good as you are doing 25%+ a week.

Ill only be keeping the clowns, angel and dottyback,once his tank is up at the new place he will take the 6 line and the 2 tangs.
Im hoping that lightens up the load a little bit
