Just wanted to say hello. I'm new to saltwater and (six months) hope to get a better idea of how things should work. Thanks in advance for all info to come.

Before I had any idea I had done it, I over stocked on fish but my water is still testing ok.

Sounds nice, what types of corals are in there?

I have some orange zoos, some green zoos, a torch, trumpet, daisy clove, flower leather, yellow leather, duncan, a frilly shroom, star polyps, and one I don't rememberwhat it is.
Oh yeah, I also have 1-black brittle star and 1-pink brittle star.
When I get my new lights I think they will all take off. Right now they are opening but not spreading.
