You probably need more rock. I would also spread it out..

 

[nano-newb1983]

What kind of light is on it? It bright enough for the corals?

 

[nanotank2008]

ive had the coral for a little under a week and it is doing well under my corallife high intensity outputs(purple)

[nano-newb1983]

cant wait.. Love seeing new tanks

 

[rotarymagic]

No offense, but that's the wrong light... and the tank looks like crap because of it... at least get some 50/50s and/or a new light fixture for growing corals. What kind of corals did you even get? zoas?

 

[nanotank2008]

no a mushroom kenya tree and a candy cane

What your plans for the blue chromis?

 

[nanotank2008]

i dont know right now but im getting attached to him so i might end up keeping him cause he has not turned out to have an aggresive personality because one time my friend was putting sand in his tank and i put his clownfish in my tank and they did pretty well together so i might end up keeping him

+1 before you go any further with adding corals you need a real light. Have you noticed no one else is running your type of light? Should tell ya something. Once you get a much stronger light with the correct par and power then your candy cane and other corals will thrive. Right now they are starving to death

Any questions just ask we are here to help and want to see you succeed

Good attitude. Usually the response is "they are fine under my current lighting".
