Right got it - thanks. Overall my internet research is leaving me very conflicted as to when I add second/third fish vs soft corals vs euphyllia vs sexy shrimp. Any advice out there?
Thanks:

Spied a small nitrite reading tonight (like 0.1mg/l). Less of an issue in marine vs freshwater as salt decreases toxicity and it’s v. low anyway but I will of course now be monitoring closely! No food tomorrow for inhabitants whilst this corrects itself. I have been over feeding the gramma to get some size back into it - although looking online it does seem to me that they all do look a bit like this so I might be worrying about nothing anyway!Started to see it coming out a bit more with the wavemaker on as shown - have turned off for the night but will leave on tomorrow as I had it today. I thought the flow looked ok anyway for the tank as is... with more corals and grown out macros I might need a bit more but for now I think it’s ok.Any tips on flow rate given I have a 500l/h pump in the filter compartment of this 60 litre tank anyway? I’m thinking I only need another day 750l/h - 1000l/h from the wavemaker? Also any tips on positioning the wavemaker or can I simply watch a bit of food go round the tank and know all is good?
I might actually stick with my wavemaker where it is then! Just increase the power tomorrow afternoon. I seem to be getting decent circulation, it’s indirect flow and it clashes with the filter flow!Thanks for that royal gramma photo it does indeed look like mine is a little thin. Will test nitrite in the morning and off all clear I’ll resume the fattening up diet :)
