Little update:
So far so good with CUC additions. They are hard at work, and seem to be mowing down algae. I am also experiencing a boom in coraline algae. Mangroves seem to be doing well, roots are growing, and looks like the lighting is doing ok for now. Really stoked to see the tank maturing, seeing all sorts of micro life, dusters, sponges, limpets, worms, pods, micro stars, etc. I have not tested for phosphate or nitrates in awhile, will have to do so this weekend. Corals, clam, and new inverts all settling in. My maxima is so darn pretty! Here we go, I love this pic, seeing the cardinals all around the sponge
