If you look at comment 244, I posted a pic of when I added alveopora the other day, that's what they look like now. I haven't added a CUC yet

Little update: diatoms have started to dissipate and everything alive in the tank is doing great!

Has the tank cycled yet? Can’t wait to see this loaded with fish and corals. This build has progressed a lot. Oh and when did you add the fish. (I think they are chromis) just not sure.

It's currently cycling, it really went quick, I think using Microbactr7 and having a great skimmer really made light work of it. Yeah they are chromis, and I'm not too sure when I added them, maybe a month ago? It's in the thread somewhere if you want to find it.

Hmm ok thanks. I probably missed that update then. That skimmer does look pretty nice

DUDE! Those are some nice looking sticks. Also, the more I see your aquascape the more I am liking it. Can't wait to see when all these turn into colonies.

This is one of my favorite tanks on this board. Looks great! Can't wait to see it develop!

Thanks y'all! It means a lot! I've poured my heart n soul into this build and I'm glad you all like it! I've been waiting for this day for a long time, I'm hoping I didn't jump the gun on putting my corals in it, but we shall see! I couldn't wait anymore! Everything seems to be happy for the time being! Thanks again!

Thank you! Corals are still doing pretty well. I transferred my prize piece so literally all my marbles are in this basket!
