Hey all, let me know what you think about it or if there is anything to improve. I have a shipment of coral coming in next week also.

Not enough corals. Buy more corals. Give in to the addiction!!!!

In all seriousness though, looks good. What all livestock do you have in it? What are the lights? For that matter what equipment do you have running on it altogether?

I do notice what looks like green algae patches on the top right rock. So curious what your CUC is made up of. Also maybe check your phosphate level.

I have lots of coral coming next week! For live stock I have a pair of clowns, yellow and silver coris wrasse, purple firefish, and a black cap basslet. My CUC is just hermits and nassarius and astrea snails. Since I don’t have a sump (big regret) I have a canister filter and I also have a hob skimmer on the way! My light is a radion xr15 g4.
 
Here are some of my corals in daylight before the lights come on:
I also have some acans and leather corals not pictured

I do have a little hair algae creeping up. Anything I can do before it becomes a problem?
