You can't start up with $200 for a reef tank. A decent light alone may costs in the $90+ range.
Salt is like $40 (instant ocean)
Rocks...are expensive at least live rock which you should go for (its easier to manage).
Sand isn't too bad but I would go to a fish store for that.
Hydrogen sulfide is what gives your flatulence its distinct smell. Like the poster above said, this being released all at once isn't typically good. Your snails going in a moving the substrate is good however.
I wouldn't worry too much however.
This could work. I would not stuff any tangs in such a small tank though. Nothing below 70 gallons is a good idea. The smallest is the tomini tang which moves around ALOT at 6".
There are some dwarf angels you can keep though. Do research.
It took me bit but it looks like a percula. I say that because of the 2nd dorsal fin which is rounder. As to what type of morph it could be, looks like a mocha snowflake clown.

You could keep two clowns in it but there are a lot of other nano salties that could work too (specifically gobies).
A cleaner shrimp would have you hit the max capacity of what your tank can handle.
A watchman goby and a pistol shrimp pair would work great (another option) but I...
This is perfect. By having the increase in growth from your other plants, they will reduce the amount of nutrients in the water which will push the microalgae out the way - basically starving them out. They are living on the abundance in your tank atm.
If upgrading the tank is not an option, perhaps increasing the amount of rock in the tank could increase bacterial growth and be able to suck up the bioload but then again there isn't much space. This is a tricky one without reducing the amount of fish in the tank.
You might not be able to...
Are you doing water changes?
I suppose you have to since you are so stocked but I actually had problems with Cyanobacteria in my saltwater tank and for the most part I have beaten it by NOT doing water changes. The problem is that whenever I would change a significant amount of water, the sudden...
Change it to specific gravity and hit a range between 1.002-1.003. If you add to much, add more freshwater.
Sorry I took so long to respond, FishLore is more of freshwater forum and I usually on r2r.
