don't worry about your tank being lousy or anything, i am sure you are doing things within your own budget.

also, most of us learn from mistakes. So just reef along and enjoy this hobby.

better than my 1st tank

just to tell you,

the brown fish with white patches is a painted sweetlips,

it will outgrow your tank in a while,

also it might just snack on your smaller fishes if it can.

your bubble tip anemone will bleach under your current lighting

you might want to consider upgrading?

the tube anemone has a powerful sting, but it doesn't need that much light

the tree as you call it is a sea fan,

the species you have is not photosynthetic

so you'll need to feed it plankton regularly

[SeaMarine]

ur backqound still ok .. suit for ur landscape.. if u put black.. all ur thing muz be in bright color.. in order to look nice.. as it is not dull

[Hecter]

hope it helps

Regarding the sweet lips.. how big you tink will it grow, as a full grown adult, and now i am very worried.. weather it will eat my clown fish and angle fish,

dude,

1 month is really kinda new.

can i suggest you stock slowly?

give your tank and the biological filtration time to grow and mature.

read up on the various reef inhabitants...

you will find that this hobby is SUPER interesting

also, if certain LFS shops realize you know what you are talking about,

they will back off keep their 'chopping knives'

personally, i prefer black backings,

it gives depth to your tank.

I think your skimmer is a bit too low and it is clear water in the collection cup Try to shift it upward to where your first green ring holder is and i dunno how strong is your air pump but should be stronger to create a turbulence inside to be more effective.

it is a a sweetlip alrite... bought one for my colleague who likes it, after a few months gave it back to lfs, feasting on his smaller species....

Yea, i using the valve to control the air pressure.. as my air pump is very powerful.. making the skimmer always overflow,
