New here! 20 gal nano

[JordysReef]

Hey guys, I’m new into reefing, have had this tank for about 5 months now, started with live everything from a 600 gal system that’s been running for years.

Is 450 calcium too high? I dose all for reef everyday ml it’s been 450 cal and 9 kh. I just started dosing like the last month or 2.
Also, is this to many corals? Or can I get more? And I’ve had an anemone for a couple weeks he’s just been in the cave doesn’t come out
Any tips and tricks appreciated on anything that might not look right thanks. I have 2 birdnest on the sand because they’re bleaching at the top but my JF rainbow acro is browning out lol

Stocking is a pair of clowns, a purple fire fish, and a royal gramma. Plus CUC.

360-450 cal 8-10 ALK 1350- 1450 are all fine. If you are on the low side of one try and have the rest on the low side and same if you're on the high side.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!!

I would say that level of calcium is fine. While both are in a totally acceptable range you could slightly lower your dosing to get alk closer to 8 or 8.5. And the calcium should drop a bit as well.

I've been using red sea blue bucket salt for a while now. KH will drop if i stop dosing for a day but CA/MG barely drops for a good 3-4days not sure why.

You have a fine amount of coral in there! You can get more, but I would personally just let them grow out in a little bit, then add more.

Hello and Welcome to R2R! The tank is looking good. Getting everything live from the 600 has definitely helped. I took the longest time before a coral would survive in mine.
