Both are large fish and will not live a long and happy life in any tank smaller than 180 gal tank. They are very aggressive fish and need large tank mates. Sorry to be the barer of bad news

Sounds like a lot critters for 12gal tank. If your nitrates are going up and you are doing a reef I would invest in a skimmer.

Nothing, triggers a dragon will eat anything you add. The only thing you may try is a Astrina Star fish, they eat ditrus and algea, they may leave them alone. You don't buy them they are hitch hikers

First you cant keep 6 clowns in 1 tank for long, unless it over 300 gal tank. Just 2 per tank of the same spieces and even then there is a chance they will not mate.

Fish wont eat because your ammonia is to high. Gets yourself some Amqu+ or Prime. Dont do hypo with star in QT.

Yep + one wait, algea is just on e of the many problem you can get with tap water. A 50gal 3 stage corelife RO/DI is about $140, this what I have for my 135gal tank, works great.

This why I have fish, fish are why I got into this hobby, so I keep fish. A fish only tank is the cheapest way to go. The only equipment you need is a heater, pumps and a light (not even a fish type fixture required). Filtration can be a wet/dry or canister. The only expense is salt mix for...

Your temp is low, I would raise your temp. to 78, but slowly. And your salinity is a little low the big blue on the average is 1.025 or 35g/l. Not that any of these changes will help the white spot. But in the long run may.

Cracked fins is usually from fin rot, which is poor water quality. Having a 30gal. tank your prams. can change quickly, I would check the prams. several times a day. Plus the canister filter gets clogged and the pre filter needs to change every two weeks or more. What does your filter use as media?

Ick looks like tine salt spots, dosen't like that to me. Is the mark raised at all and have any texture to it? What other fish do you have in the tank? Tanks size? Post all the params of your tank. What do you feed him?

Shrimp molt so they can grow. The only reason for him to be molting so often is that he is getting a lot of food. Only feed your fish the food they can consume I f you put to much at a time it will flow down and hide somewhere so the shrimp can find it. Just a suggestion skip the brine shrimp...

Does he sleep wedged into something? 3 hours ago, has it changed color or gone away? The irregular shape reminds me of a vain.

.You have plenty of light 4.5 watts per gal on the PC and the added T5's will also help. But the problem is not the amount of light but it’s the par ratting and spectrum for light. This is required for all SPS coral and anemones. For most SPS lighting is not the issue, its all about the quality...
