Hey everyone!

We just started up a new 50 gallon saltwater tank! we have live sand, 70 lbs of live rock (thanks to lotsafishes! he was awesome and very helpful!), 4 cardinals, 3 peppermint shrimp, 3 green emerald crabs, 1 anemone crab, 2 anemones, 2 clown fish, 1 coral beauty, 1 green/ blue waving anemone that i cant remember what it is called, and 1 red scooter, also snails but not sure how many!

inadvertently our rock has also given us some beautiful leathers and small corals which we think are some sort of button polyps.

Mainly we are looking to expand our corals and some easy fish.
I love the fishies and was considering adding some:
Naso Tang
Racoon orAuriga Butterfly fish
Blue Tang
Neon Blue Goby
Royal Gramma Basslet
Longfin Fairy Wrasse
Black Axil Chromis
lawnmover blenny

My husband really loves the coral side not sure what he is interested in but I know he wants:
bubble anemone
Candy cane coral
Brain Coral
Tree Coral- especially the pineapple tree

We have a pretty good set up, all the lights (3 different LED's for day, night, blue and white), protein pump, wave maker, heater, and we have the 306 filter.

Our water is doing good except our phosphorus like to stay a little high and we just did a water change and added a phos pack so hopefully that will help!

Thanks to the community guys this is such a great resource and have already met some great people! Please let us know of any suggestions!

Welcome! Does your tank have a refugium? If not do you consider getting one? Because that can help with nutrient export (phos) if you have some macro algae in there. I have chaeto I can PIF if you need to start one up.

Good luck and welcome to the addiction!! :shocked:
