alright update i got a canister filter for my 30 gal and put a temporary light on it for a picture i moved around half of my rocks into it that i held in the 15 gal just to help with the nitrogen cycle and i let it run for two months and here is a pic i now plan on aquascaping (ik why did i not do this while dry. well because i was using wet live rock from a holding tank for them in the meantime and i did not want them to dry out) so i need ideas with aquascaping im not really familiar with the thirds rule but ill post a pic

if looking at the front view the rock to the very left is the largest of the bunch but i have two more rocks like that but are a bit bigger that i want to put into here one of them is shaped the same while the other is a bit flatter on one side and it looks like a dome but obliviously its a bit rougher

i am currently dealing with a slight cyanobacteria outbreak but is not that bad but i realized that my API marine melafix says it can treat bacterial infections on fish and corals so can this help with my outbreak? (and i only use melafix for accidents but mainly for coral dips it works really well)
