Started a new build with my old 56gl. I have no idea where this will go other than all low to medium light corals. Trying new equipment.

How did you cycle your tank, and what’s your timeline so far? :) I like your scaping! I think I’ll be pretty interesting when you get it covered in coral.
What light are you using?

Sounds like you’re well on the path :)
I would see if you can borrow a par meter from a lfs or fish club and check your light.

This is my current set up and scape. I started this Nano’s cycling in November. It’s doing great currently!

Beautiful corals...no one around me has a meter. But it would be awesome if I could

Os I have a bit of a problem I need your help with. This 56gl is my first cube 30x18x24h. I'm going for low to medium flow but don't know what type or size of wave maker to get. A common type or a cross flow
