I think this is the first time that I’ve ever heard anyone say they wish they had algae Give it a few weeks, and you will definitely have diatoms.

Everything going great so far. I’m actually disappointed I haven’t seen any algae grow/diatoms. I figured they would have shown up by now. Still no CUC ordered because of it.
If I can make a suggestion... Order your CUC. I wish I would have ordered it before I had the bloom. I was constantly in the tank making sure that the corals we had in there didn't die because the algae over took it. As soon as we got the CUC, everything was basically gone in 48 hours. I would just feed the CUC 2X a day until you have the bloom. Just my 2¢.
yall convinced me. Placed an order with Reef Cleaners that will be shipped Monday
Looks like in middleWhen you adjust the micro screw , does the black pointed end fit perfectly inside the plastic tube or is it off to the side
Welp after I took this picture I was checking out the tank and noticed only 1 clownfish. I quickly looked around and noticed the other jumped out. It was swimming this morning so couldn’t have been out too long. It didn’t make it though #RIPJustin. Still waiting to receive the lid to order any additional fish
Looks like a sponge. Tank is looking goodAnyone know what this could be in sump area? I haven’t touched it yet or tried to remove it
Cal and mag are a little low. If you want to add corals I would buy just one cheap zoa frag and see how it does. If after a few months it is looking good you can try a few more soft corals. I would wait until you have coralline before trying lps or spsGot some test kits in today: Hanna Alkalinity checker, Red Sea Pro Calcium and Salifert Magnesium. First time I have ever tested these in any tank. My results are:
Alk- 8.4
Ca- 350
Mg- 1170
I have a Hanna low phosphate checker coming in too. I’m using regular instant ocean salt and have not done any water changes yet. Could I add a few LPS or softies in or would I have to raise any of them?
