First Salt water tank

[aquaworld75]

Davis, good progress on the tank. I agree, let the tank stabilize. The levels look ok. I have had times with high nitrates and my softies, LPS were just fine..
probably that anemone will be the most sensitive. As for feeding fish sounds like they are eating just stick with what you have (keep it consistent) . Corals I wouldn't worry about feeding much currently or moving..
any extra feeding could contribute to higher nitrates. Someone once told me our tanks do best when we 'leave our hands out of the tank'...As for ALK, I probably have a test kit you can have. I will look later today.

Happy to report all levels are looking good except ph. It's a little low from what I've read it's at 7.8. Added 5 small blue leg hermits 3 snails and a starfish that my wife's said reminds her of an octopus. Everything is doing absolute amazing, still no skimmer and really needing to get my lighting sorted out. Been looking at LED for the programmability and low running cost. Tank is 48" wide and 12-18 deep and 18 tall. It's a bow front shape 72 gallon tank. Also if anyone has a working but old skimmer they don't want or are getting rid of real cheap to hold me over for a few months let me know. Others I'll do water changes to help keep some of the crap out. Here's a few pictures of the tank and coral I've added.
