Hello everyone! I just recently started a 55g saltwater tank which has been running for about a month n a half. I haven't purchased all the live rock i want but all my levels seem to be great. My nitrates are a little high but i found out its because my tap water has them. I started with 5 blue/green chromis to make sure everything is running right n not to waste money buying expensive fish right away. After about a week n a half n all my levels still doing well i just purchased two percula clowns 4 shrimp n 12 hermit crabs which im pretty sure 2 have died sadly one w/o shell n the other not sure. Anyway i have just started noticing brown algae(diatoms) which i hear are normal. Crazy timing too because i got my clean up crew the day it appeared. They worked real hard but seem to be slowing down. Im assuming i need more?
Would love any advice anyone could give to keep my tank going as well as advice on more fish or less..thanks a lot! Here are some pictures
