New setup starting to come to life. I love this part. Setting up the building blocks for maturity. Waiting on these diatoms to burn out before I move over the sensitive corals, but I love the progress.

Love seeing those two clownfish already settled! Ocellaris and Picasso Percula are such a fun pair to watch, especially in a smaller setup like this. That live rock base looks perfect for some good flow and natural filtration. I know waiting out diatoms is always the patience test but so worth it before adding sensitive corals. Are you planning to go heavy on LPS like your Green Hammer and Rasta Torch? Those need a bit of space and moderate flow to really thrive. Also curious what lighting you’re running to get that color pop when you add your zoas and digitata in. Can’t wait to see those

What I’ve done here is build an 81gal system 75g display with a 40g sump. 78lbs of rock, 76lbs of sand. Right now I’m still chasing po4 saturation. Holding around 0.01-0.02 but would like it a bit higher before moving the hammer and torch. Was running the ai blade grow on the 15g but upgraded to dual Popbloom RL90’s. As of now running 40% across the blues, 35% violet, 5% whites. At the end of acclimation should be around 65% blues, 60% violet, keeping whites low maybe 10% (still playing with it and watching responses). Coral have settled well. Ppe, Super Saiyan, alpha omega zoas. Toxic splatter, dragons soul favia. War coral. Stylophora and birdsnest, trumpet and mushrooms all responding well. Diatoms are on their last stand and once I get po4 pinned around 0.04-0.06 I’ll move the others. No3 riding around 9-10ppm with no spikes. Working dkh to match my aio also. Need to bring it up 0.7 (doesn’t sound like much, but I’m trying to make it as smooth as possible).
