Noticed the coralline is actually spreading onto the glass now, wasn't expecting that this soon. Chromis school looks good, rock's not looking bare anymore at all.
Note
week 12ish
Coral's coming along on a couple frags but one of them just isn't doing anything, hasn't grown or opened up right since I placed it. Might be flow, might be placement, not sure yet. Rest of the rock is starting to get some color which is nice to see.
Note
algae
Fighting a diatom/algae bloom right now, rock's covered in it.
Note
day 30
Added the first chromis today, bag sitting up top for a while before I let them out. They shot straight into the rockwork and didn't come out for like twenty minutes, then just started schooling around the top like nothing happened. Only a couple frags glued down so far, rest is bare rock still.

week 2
Still cycling. Rock's got that dusting of brown diatoms already, looks kind of rough honestly, bare white patches everywhere. Water's crystal clear at least so that's something. Waiting on ammonia to actually process before I even think about livestock.

day 3
Filled her- no. Water's in, filter's running, nothing alive in there yet. Just noise and flow for now.
