IMO your going WAY to fast. Slow down.

your tank has only had water in it for 10 days and your already putting fish in it?

alot of stuff (besides the small order of macro rocks) came from an established tank. Got seed rock from an established tank and another 5lbs or so live sand from an established tank. Tested water parameters, saw a spike (after I threw in a scallop) and watched the levels return to normal.

Also using Seachem Stability...which I know some people say is snake oil, but it's worked for me in the past....

So far everything is looking good...fish are actively swimming, CUC is actively cruising the tank...

Got the Geissman Powerchrome Actinic bulb....um, awesome. It doesn't make too much of a difference in overal color of the tank itself, but when you look at the inhabitants....waaaapow! The reds on the peppermint shrimp and the coral banded are epic!

Dark Photo...obligatory FTS:
