I'm new to reefing. I'm not new to the hobby, just new to keeping reefs.

I have a 30g tall tank. Currently have:

61lbs of live rock
4 zoa colonies
5 green striped mushrooms
2 frags green fuzzy mushrooms
1 unidentified polyp
1 small SPS unidentified
14 regular astrea snails
3 margarite snails
1 GIGANTIC astrea snail

I got frags from a local reefer. I don't know what some of them are. They are COOL, I do know that.

I also have 3 fish:
yellow tail damsel
6-line wrasse
diamond watchman goby

The damsel is on the way out. I bought her to make sure my tank was fully cycled. I cycled it with shrimp from the local grocery store deli, but wanted to make sure it was finished and stable, so I got a cheap damsel. It's a typical damsel--aggressive. I can't catch it with a net, so I'm going to catch it with some nymphs from my fly fishing tackle. I'll take it down to the local fish store and trade it for a snail.

I'm using a CPR HOB refugium w/skimmer built in. I have a Coralife 130w PC light. Using a Coralife timer unit. Also using powerheads in the tank to keep water flowing. Total flow in the tank is 800GPH and total flow through the refugium is 300GPH.

I have a 5" DSB in the tank and 4" DSB in the refugium.

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
Calcium 480
Alkalinity 3.4
dKH 9.4
Salintiy 1.023

I've had it cycled for about 2 months. Added 61lbs of rock in 2 phases. Added 37lbs after it cycled and the rest about a month later.

Tank has been set up and running about 3 months. One of my green stripe mushrooms has already split once. My zoa colonies are growing and reproducing.
