Just got back into the saltwater hobby after 10 year hiatus. Been having freshwater tanks since then and got bored. Had a 120 gallon and 30 gallon nano reef running for 3 plus years previously. This is my first tank journal. Any feedback or input would be much appreciated. tank has been running for 3 weeks now.
Plan on adding sexy shrimp, yasha goby and pistol shrimp into the tank.

Tank specs:
Imagitarium 3.7 Gallon glass tank
Stock filtration
Hydor centrifugal 260 gph pump
Lighting: Kessil a80

stocking:
1 domino
Red mushrooms

Thanks I got them from you correct?
Yes sir!
If you plan on adding yasha goby and pistol shrimp make sure your rock is touching the bottom of the glass, the shrimp will dig tunnels under the rock and if the rock isn't touching the bottom of the glass it may shift and fall over, I would also move all the plugs on the rock otherwise the shrimp will end up flipping them over

since mixing a 5g bucket worth of water is more than a full wc, how big of a wc do you do on this little tank. I want to do a pico one day
