Looks good! Plenty of space to grow out as of now… I have a 300 and I keep adding haha! My tank should be full by the end of year with the growth rates I’m seeing now.

How long till you could sustain sps

It's hard for me to tell what's going on in those pics but you have a ton of coralline so your tank should be ready for SPS if you have the required par.

Great work with the rocks, that should allow good water movement.

Turn the lights way down to try and not shock the sps . Par is between 2 and 500

Looks good, I never light acclimate new corals. If SPS was at 350 in the vendor tank then it's fine in 350 in my tank.... good luck, nice set up.

That aquascape will provide a lot of room for growth! Well done!

Set up looks dandy to me. Are you testing your water? ALK, Ca, NO3, PO4?

Load up on some peppermint shrimp for the aiptasia. If they don't solve it, then a Kleins Butterfly will once he has eaten your zoanthids.

Kleins will nip at acro polyps, so you get no polyp extension.

I put them in a couple days after I filled it and kept on trucking! I did have about 80 pounds of rock from an established tank to start my new up thou.

A trident would be your best friend if you have a apex controller.. I hate testing so I broke down and got a controller and trident and wow! I don’t do anything but replace reagents once a month or so.
