It's been so long before I start adding some corals in that aquarium. I really wanted to show all the processes I go through so this slow me down a lot for this competition but I hope you enjoy those episodes of nano reefing. Testing water parameter before adding is important, I know it might take some times, but the beginning of an aquarium is often critical, it get easier when the saltwater tank mature over time. I often use natural method to control some of my parameter, Chaetormorpha and Mussels/Oyster/Clam are a great example, I find it much easier that way and more economical also, but things like Alk, Cal, Mag, and other major trace elements need to be added with products to keep the balance of the aquarium. For Flatworm, you can use a damsel Springeri and wrasse in nano aquarium (mine might be too small) Otherwise, you can use a product like Salifert Flatworm Exit My review about it: https://youtu.be/_AiyrH9p4b0 On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3lUoauY The corals I added during this video are: Green Toadstool - Sarcophyton sp. Neon Green Finger Leather - Sinularia sp. Orange and Orange/Green Clove Polyp - Clavularia sp.
