Evo 5 a few months in. Softy and beginner LPS frag grow out and mini display garden. Frogspawn want a different location, might try lower light. Gonna mix it up here soon- what should I add next!?

Fluval Evo 5 softie and beginner LPS reef update. Fishless for the next 70 days 😿

A sad weed. I thought it melted last night but today has come back to life-some? I am hoping it pulls through- as this is my first slat tank with supposedly easy beginner corals. I think the macro algae is hogging all the nutrients in this pico 5 gallon so maybe this one doesn’t have a chance?

Cycle complete on the experiment! Added CUC and my first ever corals last night!! Also upgraded water flow from the nano internal skimmer to Fluval HOB- I didn’t like the space the skimmer was taking up and the HOB gives me more flexibility with carbon filtration option. Upgrade lighting arriving tomorrow!

1.5 weeks into cycling and we have diatoms!

Hello community, I’m new here, crossing over from Freshwater🫣. Got me the Hello Reef 15g AIO, then decided I needed two more 5gs to balance out my pico tank shelves- each tank has a stocking plan, but we’ll see how it all pans out. Currently each are somewhere between 3-7 days into cycling with live sand and rock, dosed with Dr. Tim’s ammonia and either Dr. Tim’s or Fritz 9 live bacteria. Hoping to add first inverts by June! I plan to get each tank set up on an ATO soon- I was looking at Fzone as an affordable solution for these smaller tanks. What do ya’ll think?
