60 gal cube with AI Prime 16 HD. I’m taking this tank over from my partner; it’s been a FOWLR tank for 6 months now but just getting fully stocked with CUC and focusing on balancing trace elements.

Haven’t had proper reef lighting so I have just now encountering a small hair algae problem.

Running on a wet-dry sump.. looking to invest in a new sump with refugium in the near future.

My ultimate goal is a tank with hammers and birds nest, but I’m taking it slow.

Still a little low on Mg but anyone have any suggestions for stocking this tank?? Should I add more rock to utilize all of the light?
I am trying to grow a copepod population to sustain a mandarin or dragonite

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
