what size is that

Hi,

I think you'll need much more live rock than what you have. Live rock does majority of filtration by housing multiple bacterias/microorganisms/etc. A good rule of thumb (because it depends on live rock porosity) is to have between 1 and 2 lbs by gallons.

I don't know how old is this tank, by there seem to be many "advanced" corals in there. Did you do your homework with this? Did you read about those corals requirements? For example, the yellow sps (acropora?) in the middle need lot of light (MH for example)... And there seem to be a sun coral (tubastrea)on the left (sorry if I'm wrong), do you know that it is to be fed manually about once every 2 days?

Keys to success in this hobby are:

- Patience

- Read, read and when you think you know everything about life and the rest, read again

The best place to learn is on the internet. Read forums (here, reef central, etc...), check dedicated web sites (live aquaria, though a shop, provide very nice info on multiple corals and fish species; wet web media; etc...)

I hope I have helped you, good luck!

i did my homework this tank is setup for at about 2 months and ive had a nanos for more than half a year... not much, but i think i have some ideas of what i am doing

Don't worry. He knows what hes doing:) All of that is from a well established (i think it was 3g) tank.

I do think that you could use some more LR though. Just my opinion though because i like a more filled look.

If you dont add anymore fish, I'd say your fine.

no more fish... and i do not want anymore liverock, i want the corals to grow the reef not the rock... thanks for the comments

That's an interesting idea, burnah. It could work!

It is the truth even know i have the normal amount of Lr it cost to much money to buy all that Lr cuz its not like people are like nice LR there looking at the coral
