Yep, bright and clean is a good start and might want to review this guide to identify and understand common symptoms/indicators of disease: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/fish-disease-index.247600/Thanks, I added the Clowns to keep bacteria alive. Think I am going to put some Hermits and Snails in this weekend from the LFS ( we have 3 close two are bright and clean the 3rd is always dark and tanks are full of aptasia and dirty) I am not sure how to determine which is safest or best I lean toward bright and clean tanks. Not sure how many fish we should put in the tank. Kids are researching and making lists of ones they like now. We are on spring break so won’t see kids for a week. I assume by the time the kids come back we will be ready for fish.
Looks pretty good so far, don't worry too much about this ugly phase it will pass. Do you have an auto top off and have you thought about setting up a refugium?
I would definitely turn it up to at least 60% for now and maybe turn it up more when you get corals. Dead spots causes cyano bacteria to form and detritus to settle, this is why you need circulation.Powerhead is a Eflux 1050 I have it at 20%

Should I add a second power head for cross flow?
You should be fine by just turning up the flow.Should I add a second power head for cross flow?
Things are starting to appear... any ideas what this may be?
Looks like a bristleworm. Don't worry about them
SO THEY ARE REEF SAFE?
