Great looking tank! That rock is very nice and your placement is awesome. I am looking forward to watching this evolve.

its been the end of 2 weeks since the cycle started.. Have seen no significant changes except a few coraline algae growing on the rock..

-My light intensity is quite low. Any suggestions what is the ideal intensity and how many hours in a day during the cycling stage..

- Also noticed the PH reading from the American Pinpoint shows 7.9 and fluctuates 7.91-7.95... Have been opening the fish room window during the day for air circulation.. Is this ok for now till the cycling is complete.. How do I get to raise it to 8 and above??

Btw have been adjusting positions of my 2 Siccee Voyager 4 powerheads in the tank.. as they are stirring up lot of sand from the front glass..

Looking good
I wouldn't worry about your ph level at all. It's fine where it is.
