Thankfully I decided to hold off a bit on stocking since I haven't seen any signs of gha or cyano in the cycle, wake up this morning and BAM! Its everywhere. One of the few times im happy to see it haha

Don't worry. It will go away. But you're right, it's much easier to deal with when the tank is empty.

Did a big fat 80% WC and cleaned the tank a bit parameters are all in check but I still got a tiny bit of gha so ima hold off another week or two for corals. Any suggestions on a fish that would do well in 4 gallons?

Wanted to see the tank under t5's looks good! so far the tank is stable both gobies are eating and the zoa rescues I put in are doing great dont know if you can see the pink edge these zoas have another month or so and I think it will be ready for some higher end coral ;)

Looks like 2 weeks is the limit for my pico before needeing a water change ive been letting it go just to see how effective the sump fuge and skimmer are. Not bad for 6.5 gallons right?
