Word of caution, if you're only on day 10, your cycle most likely is not over yet. If you insist on stocking right away, do so very slowly, with the...
He could hang two PAR30 LED lamps over a 20-29 gal for less than $150, and those are good enough to grow SPS under.
+1 on the rockwork, love it! Also love your tank in general, rimless with LEDs! How long has the tank been cycled?
The frag came from a fellow reefer's tank, who I believe keeps his values similar (except for Mag, I know it's high). I'll leave it in place a while...
bump for PM readers
Below is a pic of this encrusing monti when I got the frag. Now the polyps are almost completely receeded, and it's been this way since placing it...
I'm not concerned about my tank overflowing, the return section of the sump only holds maybe 2 gallons, and the ATO holds 3 gallons, so worst case...

Thanks everyone. @Steve. Thanks for the compliments and input. Coming from you always seems to have a little more impact. One thing I have not...
