I'm new to the hobby.

Like the title mentions I'm a complete beginner when it comes to the hobby. Never had any fish, fresh or salt water, this is my tank it is 2 months after nitrogen cycle.

It is the Waterbox AIO 35.2. Their older PLUS EDITION (they have a much better updated one IMO) I'm not currently dosing. I use instant ocean Reef Crystals, it's not the best from what I gather but it's available at my local pet store I can get an emergency supply if I need it and Amazon always runs deals and of course free 2 day shipping.

Equipment: 2 filter socks, sponges, ceramic, activated carbon, a sicce shark skimmer 150, sicce return pump, scuba Preset heater(will upgrade to inkbird and titanium eventually) AI light Prime 16hd, Ai nero 5 powerhead, waterbox mesh lid and nature dimensions ATO with a 5 gallon rodi water bucket. I also got rodi for the house.

I do a 5 gallon water change every week and test daily.

what do y'all think? I'm posting to get tips and constructive criticism specially on my coral placement.
