Hello I just got back into the hobby after taking a 10+ year break. In my last years of college and first year or so after I had a 58 gallon fish only SW tank which housed a lionfish, yellow tang, clown, parrot fish and panther grouper. I loved that lion but I always wanted a reef tank and since these are about the poorest years of a person's life it was out of the question. I recently purchased a used 24g JBJ Nano and it has been going for about 2 months. Most of the rock was purchased from individuals who had it in established tanks so my cycle time was minimum to none. The pump has been upgaded to a MJ1200 and I have a Koralia Nano for additional circulation. Attached is the most recent pic I have. I have since added a firefish goby, 6 line wrasse, some kenya trees and green with purple tip frogspawn. The red slime algae is also a little more under control.

I'm still messing with the aquaculturing, I can't get it anywhere near where it looks good. I had a couple of huge pieces of rock that I tried to split and ended up with slightly smaller huge pieces of rock and a bunch of fragments. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
