So brand new to this" 30G.. update New pics and corals

Ditto ,plus you'll go through the algae phase sooner or later as the tank matures.I agree with the "wasting electricity" but i find it very hard to have a tank running and not being able to watch it.

 

yea i felt bad when i left home lol.. i tried last night but no way i can anymore

 

So I am going on what I beloved is third week and this is what its looking like. My ammonia levels are fine my nitrite level is up there. But my nitrate are at about 5. So what u think? Brown I think is going away but I think its just me lol

The brown is diatoms they will go away once the silica is gone

Looks like you have a great start. Good luck with everything and welcome to 3reef

 

Thanks. Question I am assuming I should wait untilled the brown is gone before adding fish right?

You can add fish when the cycle has completed, whether or not the diatoms have gone.

 

So tank is good now and I was thinking of buying this small lion its only 15 bucks and in a tank close by I know tank is to small but I plan on upgrading soon anyways

Lion fish are beautiful, but if you want corals or other fish in your current tank I would wait. They are often acquired as a curiosity because of their beauty and behaviors, after a new owners gets insight into their growth and feeding patterns it becomes buyers remorse, except for those up to the challenge and willing to limit their systems inhabitants to meet the needs of one fish.
