My first salt water tank

[SajmonPL]

Hello Everyone

I am new to forum and just started my my first salt water tank. I would appreciate all your comments and suggestions how can I keep my small 50 liter tank in good condition. I am attaching few pictures of my aquarium. First off all if you could help me to name all the visible creature in my tank that would be helpful. These corals were chosen by my kids and I at the beginning I was told the names/types of these corals by the person from whom I bought it but simply I forgot the names. It would be nice if you could help me with naming them.

Few words about the tank:
- 50 liter ( second had )
- I have started the tank last Saturday.
- I have received salt water from the tank of the person from whom I bought corals
- I have a living rock already inside from last Saturday from th same person
- The light I am using was parto of the kit I got and it was hand made
- Filter is an original cascade filter from the set of the previous owner
- Temperature is 24-25 Celsius

Please let me know what in your opinion should be the next steps I should do to keep my tank in good condition. As it is written in this forum there is no dumb questions, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. Therefore I ask you for longanimity.

The tank looks empty with only 2 rocks, I would add more rock. Rocks also act as the biofilter, so more rock is good. (google 'the berlin method')

What are your tank parameters? You will need test kits to find out, especially since you have corals and anemones in there.

The most important thing of all is to read and research, this hobby is extremely difficult when you don't have the knowledge and experience, most people actually end up quitting, there are countless used tanks for sale online.

If you don't know the names of your corals then you cant research what kind of light and flow it likes, some corals are aggressive and will kill others, some are not, some like to be fed, some don't... Always read before buying, its important or everything will just die.

Thank you Lordo. I am planning to but a kit with testing equipment in the next few days. Good comment about rocks. To me it also looked little bit empty.
