Thanks for the warm welcome!
I'm really open to suggestions for stocking the tank. My wife loves clowns, a percula clown with some kind of BTA might be nice for her. I'm a big fan of zoanthids and polyps myself, so I'd like to get a few tiny frags to get those started at some point.
Thanks for the advice re: seeding algae! I'll give that a try for sure.
Ha. I have many, many memories of my first diatom bloom and the months I spent trying to get it back under control...
