I have checked that and everything is fine. Only 1 inch of water from my main display drains into the SUMP when the return pump is off and the SUMP holds that amount of water. Thanks though

Its cycled, but i would guess that the capacity of your bacteria is still a little low .If it where me i would add fish one at a time and wait a decent time between fish .Oh and nice tank by the way , love the dimensions .

Ok, Do you think that adding 2 small true percula clowns (1 inch) next week would be fine? My uncle is bringing them up from Vancouver so should I tell him not to bring them? Also thank you for them kind words. I also love the dimensions.

Day 45: Added 2 corals!! Yay!

Zoanthids

Green Pocillopora. Yes I know it is not green. When I bought it, it had a little bit of green in it but it was under an 20,000K bulb. I am using a 10,000K bulb so there is no green on it at the moment.

Day 55: Added 5 pieces of SPS. I got all of these corals for $40. I was pretty happy about that. I just laid them in the tank on the rock for the time being. I glued them in the day after.

Green Millipora

Pink/Purple Millipora

Purple Poccilopora??

Birdsnest??

Blue Acropora??

More updates to come. Give me advice. Thanks.

Im sure the 2 clowns will be fine , your bacteria population will catch up quick , you just dont want to add 6 fish at once because it wont catch up that quick.Corals look great for just a 10k bulb , thinking of adding any blue suplements?

Ok sounds good. I bought this fixture with the 10,000K bulb from my Uncle and I will probably just switch it for a 14,000K bulb within the next month or so. I think this will make the corals pop.
