ammonia is poison to ur live stock, if temp high, ammonia will turn even more poison
where ammonia come from? overfeeding food, die fish, bioload too high etc
most chiller can support up to 4ft, we only need to bring down 3,4c from room tempreture.

1 fan is enough, too many your water will vapor too fast and result more worst because salinity will swing also.
fan just blow the heat from the light away and cool down max 2-3c, with more fan still the samething

u have low lighting so consider those which need feeding like sun coral, super sun , rhyzo
and those which can supplyment food to compensate the lack of light
moon coral, bubble, blastomusa, acans, favia, ricordea yuma or florida etc

tree coral, colt, finger, toadstool, clam , mushroom & buttons u can keep but need to put high

just avoid goniopora (flower pot) or similar type, carnation, donut , brain, xenia & seafan, all this have special requirements, all i tried b4 and is not easy to keep.

sure, but u need to dose supplyment, if u change water every 2wks noneed to dose anything extra, salt has it all, cheapest solutions.

all i listed u can keep. do you have chiller?

some will be able to adapt to it. basically corals all need temp 28c and below.

sure not same watt output, even different brand of T5 will give different result.

expensive, get from marine fish shop, plenty of choice, safer & cheaper.

take a smaller bucket, add the salt and test your hydrometer.
make sure is working before you use it to test you main tank

2nd hand resun CL650 chiller normally cost around rm600, u can ask your regular marine LFS to keep an eye for you. don't buy any stocks from them, just ask and tell them u don't have chiller so cannot keep, haha. very soon enuf they will help you to get 1.

u can get cheato from most marine LFS

not concentrated enough

all you need to know

something is not right with your water, you add any new fish lately?

UV will kill everything, but don't need to worry coz those bacteria mostly doesn't suspend in water.

make it a habit to have quarantine tank next time, now guess that you have to make your display tank fishless for a while.

very nice bubble tip anemone, how much izzit?

doesn't look long on the pic, more like bubble tip
noneed suppliment, medium light and stable water parameter, 26-28c
occasionally feed chop prawn meat, small small pcs will do.
