I would be patient , when I first did my tank I was freaking out of all the algae and blooms and instead of trying to fix it all naturally I threw a chemical in the tank that led me to my worse case of Dino’s ever lol.

Interested to hear about your experience with them. Funny you should bring them up as I was reading an article about keeping a shoal of them today.
I think I’d use a shallower sump. I currently use a 29g and it’s just a little awkward to get things in and out of given it’s proximity to the bottom of the tank.
You’re doing this but it’s worth reiterating. Cure whatever rock you get if used or previously used/dry, and test the water before putting into the display.
Be a lot more selective about what to put into the display. Too many palys for me now and they’re impossible to control without tearing the tank down and starting over.
