Hey guys this is my second SW tank and my first reef. Well it has been running for about 15 days and today i got my live rock, some macro algae and my primary clean up crew. well here we go


Hardware:
Current:

A power head (not sure what brand)

Soon:
1-JBJ (ATO)
1-dosing pump
1-Monitor
2-MH 14k Bulbs
2-power heads

That is my basic hardware might remove the power heads and add a wave maker when possible. Add a calcium reactor.My tank has a 50 gallon sump with a 4 inch DSB and 2 packs of carbon, no bio balls and no ceramic rings. right now my live stock is 10 turban snails, 1 tiny hermit crab, 1 large hermit crab.Here is my live stock list:

2-brittle stars
2-ocellaris clowns
1-fire fish
1-watchman goby

i got a cuc when i first started my tank, most of it died because the tank was not mature.

My first fish came in. I also got my very fist corals, a colony, a green zoa, brown mushroom, cool brain. I am jacked about my tank. I need opinions on the 20k bulb will the corals thrive? The UV is there till my pea water is gone. Also i have not idea on what fish and shrimps to get.
