    Hey guys I finally got my tank running again after my ich disaster. Kk so I wanted to know what u guys thought of my 30 gallon tank. Equipment: aqua clear protein skimmer, 15w uv sterilizer, 550 gph return pump, 1 750 gph powerhead, 20 gallon refuge/sump, heater, 600 gph overflow, and a 250 mh penant. Fish: 2 ocellaris clownfish, 1 yellow wrasse, 1 pgmy angel, 1 yellow tank( gonna return and get another small one once it gets bigger), and 1 blue tang( which I will do the same as I will do with the yellow tang). Cuc: 10 turbos, 1 serpent starfish, and 10 hermit crabs. Corals: anthelia, Duncan, star grass I think, 2 mushrooms, and 2 zoanthid frags. Parameters: 1.025 salinity, 0 ammonia nitrite nitrate, 8.0 ph. I do 5 gallon changes weekly. I'll post pics or a video soon.

    Welcome to 3reef. I think you might want to cut back on the fish though. I wouldn't even bother with the tangs. They would probably just get stressed out and then be prone to ich and it really just isn't worth the trouble. One of the reasons why tangs are recommended for tanks that 150+ gallons is because they like to swim from side to side and plain need the room to swim. With the angle, it is hit and miss whether or not they will eat your corals. I would probably steer away from the those for now as well. The rest of the list seems fine to me. I hope this helps you out.

    Thanks for the info. I am just keeping the tangs for a little while so they can eat a bit of the red algae and then I will gO return it
