I agree. Definitely looks good. My only caution about adding corals would be the lighting. I believe you mentioned it’s basic LED which I’m guessing means is built into the hood? If so it may not be strong enough to sustain corals
Yes that is what I currently have, but am planning to upgrade as soon as I can.

I’d wait on the corals until you have sufficient lighting .

adding corals and finding out later the lights weren’t enough could go wrong bad.

I’d double check parameters as well . Start checking alk , cal , mag . Just to be sure everything is beginning to mature and stabilize .

For the basic corals like toadstool,Xenia, GSP the basic light should work. If you are wanting nice colorful coral like Zoas, birds nest or if you are wanting Anemones. You will need the upgraded light for sure.
