    My First Reef tank. Been about a month since i started my tank up. Just now starting to see some real life in the tank. Water clearity is decent but not as clear as it should be. Just posted some beginning pics and some now pics.

    Tank Build

    I have in the tank now one anemone 3 black damsels one hermit crab and two peppermint shrimp. Was hoping to grow some corals in there too. Working on building a fuge right now, gonna take a while though. I have a coralife light do u have an opinion on how i should run my lighting it has two white bulbs two blue bulbs and four blue leds I believe its a t5 system. Would an octopus eat coral?
