Cycle completed. First water change with @AUTOAQUA Smart AWC Duo worked out perfectly. Introduced @Dinkins Aquatic Gardens Reef Snacklebox (16oz), Live Copepods (16oz) and first dose of their Live Phytoplankton...

Turned lights on for the first time today to promote a little algae growth and get ready for a clean up crew.

@Dinkins Aquatic Gardens... In a brand new dry rock / live sand system that just finished cycle, what amount would you suggest I dose your Phyto?

"Calling all units, backup required"

No back-up needed... I come in peace. :)

At 1" - 1.25" and captive bred it should be good for awhile and I have a rehome already set up... Well I have a "Hell yeah I'd take it" in a text so that's as contractually binding as it gets.

UPDATE:

Coral arrived yesterday.
Mini acro colony came in totally bleach... Vendor refunded, no questions asked.
Goni are looking healthy.

Fish came today.
Floated bag as per @Biota_Marine acclimation directions and netted the fish into tank.
Both Royal Gramma and Yellow Tang are out and about looking great.

Will update with photos soon.

That Goni on the left looks ridiculous, can't wait to see it opened right up.

Some retailers around here offer "Goni" packs but I always resist....however...your post is pulling me to the dark side!
Check out https://reefloungecoral.com/

Buy 4 Goni frags and get 25% off... Couldnt pass it up, and their prices were great before the discount (as far as I knew).
