Mini Max Carpet Anemone
Ricordea Red Mushroom
Rasta Zoanthid
I have 2 yellow tail Damsel
2 Occ Clowns
Bi color Blenny
Red hawk
Scopias tang
A couple of snails and crabs
 
Ummm... Guessing there may have been a bit of a testing error regarding the Alkalinity.. because 15.3 is a tad high.. not that it would be impossible to keep corals at that high of a number, it would be very difficult to acclimate corals to that number.
Most people are in the 9+/- range for Alkalinity
 
Salifert. Today was the first time using this kit so there is a possibility I made an error.

That could be a possibility. Today was the first time I used these test kits. I will test again tomorrow and see if I come up with something different. Thank you for your response.
