Added a few leftovers from my little NuVo10. It’s slowly coming together only been 24 days since I I got it up and running parameters are holding steady, still working on getting the skimmer tuned it’s an Aquaamax fc-120 if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let help me out all it does is bubble over all day long, luckily my Fuge is running strong . Apart from that looks like I’ll slowly start adding more, continue my water changes and test every 3 days parameters for the last 10 days Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 3 Salinity 1.025 Alk 8.5-8.3 between the water changes and Calcium at 430

Those are all different zoas or color morphs from 1 parent? They're beautiful.
