Thanks! Mine is coming along - dealing with some diatoms now but probably because I turned lights on for the corals- then just added inverts and copepods recently to hopefully balance everything out!

Hello from outside Philadelphia!
My name is Mike and I’m new to reefing with a Fluval Evo 13.5 running for a little while now. I have some corals and inverts but no fish yet.
Excited to learn and share my experience!

Hi Mike and Welcome! Glad you joined. Sounds like you are on your way!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you on the East Coast:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Hey Mike, Welcome! Just curious if you were ghost feeding or feeding your inverts?
I only mention this because without fish, you’ll need to maintain a source of ammonia for the nitrifying bacteria to enjoy or all the effort you put into cycling will start to regress!
