Start with a big water change and check ur filter. Maybe retest with a liquid kit if you can. Let me know ur levels!

I do a water change white abit I just did one last week I keep up with the changing I’m going to be honest tho I havnt gotten a kit to test my salinity or anything this is the only test strips I could afford at the time I will be getting new ones
@Glowing_Daisy_51

Totally get it, test kits can be pricey. Strips are better than nothing for now! Just keep an eye on ur tank and maybe do another small water change if things still seem off. Salinity’s important too, maybe see if a local store can test ur water for you. Hang in there

Going to do just that thank you for the advice I have no clue what I’m doing.

You got this! We all start somewhere. Nano tanks can be tricky but super fun once you get the hang of it. Just keep an eye on your fish and corals and ask if you have questions

Could this be the reason my coral hasn’t opened in days both my soft corals won’t come out idk what’s wrong they used to be big frags and beautiful now there shriveled n hiding
@Glowing_Daisy_51

Yeah, water params being off can totally make soft corals close up like that. Sometimes it’s salinity, or even just something spiked. I’d def get the water tested if u can. Maybe try a small water change too. Nano tanks react fast to little things!

Hmm what’s the phosphate?
@chaelynn

I’ll have to buy a test kit at the time this was the only one I could afford
@Zayne

Have you been topping it off or testing the salinity?
@chaelynn

Both coral and a Goby thrive in a more established tank. I would recommend adding beneficial bacteria and copepods to your tank. And honestly just need to wait several months for the tank to mature. Your clownfish should do fine. They are very resilient.
I have tons of copepodes in my tank but thank you for ur advice u needed it
