Absolutely stunning tank congratulations! I wish more people used macro in their tanks.
How often do the macro go sexual? And does the tank ever go through "bad looking" periods?
What are your goals for this tank?

How often do the macro go sexual?
-Never). Caulerpa prolifera is very stable and "slow grow" type of Caulerpa.

And does the tank ever go through "bad looking" periods?
- This tank is very stable, everything is good all the time)

What are your goals for this tank?
- A difficult question. The goals are still in the process of being formed)

The new sponge fits perfect. It adds balance, and it's beautiful.

Have you considered changing the background color? I think most macro tanks pop a little more if the background is more blue-white, like so:

There's not a lot of white backed aquariums available. I agree I think the white back round adds more contrast to the macro than the standard black.

Maybe. Haven't thought about it yet

Asterina stars and bubble algae is not to much no need to control
Мacroalgae are brought by suppliers and can be purchased

Is your photoperiod that long because of low par, since it claims only 100 par at 40cm? I was always curious about the AliExpress lights, they seem like a very good value.
I can see fixtures that look like radions plus blades being built with AliExpress lights since not everyone will be capable of a full diy light.
