Hi all,
I have been cycling my 75 gal display tank since 4/2/23, and all has been going great. Since then, my clowns have finished QT and are thriving in the display tank. I believe my cycle finished weeks ago, and water parameters are consistently stable. I was at my LFS, and they have a great price on a toadstool leather I've been eyeing and wanting to be my first coral addition to the tank. My problem is I haven't had an algae bloom yet. I just installed lights about 2 weeks ago, so I know it's coming, but I was wondering if it would be wise to wait for that to happen? I keep reading different opinions, so I'm a bit confused. Like I said, the price is great, but I've been patient and have no problem continuing to be. But if it won't hurt anything and the risk to the coral is low, I'd like to take advantage. Thoughts?
