It's a Royal Tang or a Blue Hippo Tang, they are both the same

your calcium should be 400+, Nitrates do not want to be above 20mg/L, not all toadstools have tentacles, i'm sure they will all stand up once they get used to your tank

Not sure t5 are good enough for keeping corals, my living reef tank has forced me to spend £1300 on new lighting a KR2 LED, I found that my heteracis crispa anemone climed across some corals killing them until it was happy it was getting adequate light

A new coral recently aquired

I have been advised that to reduce my fairly high nitrate which is 20mg/L was to remove all the filter media (carbon sock, foam, bio balls, floss) and just rely on my protein skimmer?

My Tank few pictures

Some new photo's of my living reef tank

Low and behold the Anthelia is out in full bloom, strange it kept closed for a full day, I had 100kg when I set the tank up and probably have 10kg spare in a reserve tank which is kept wet & warm, but you are dead right after aqua scaping the tank it took around 190L to fill to the weir.

Just love the new inhabitants algy1943
