Well, I've got things started. Water is in and fritz turbo dosed. Tigger pods added.
I would like to introduce everyone to Bebop and Rocksteady.
Next week I'll provide an update when I add a zoa to test things out.

Long time no talk! Here is a tank update. Cycle just finished on the Evo. Duncan is happy and growing over the plug now. Mushroom seems to be hit or miss on how happy it is lol.
Gonna try an experiment with some LED lighting strips that I'll glue under the hood to go with my stock lighting. I am not ready to purchase an AI prime plus a mesh lid plus a ATO lol... its budget-ish for now.
I did decide to upgrade to D-Flow Designs media baskets and an RFG. Soon, I'll be switching out the pump to a dcs1200 so I have more customization with the flow power and feed modes.
I am now looking for suggestions on which coral and fish to go with next...
Definitely want soft corals and stuff that doesn't require an extremely mature tank. Would like to find something for my clowns to host but I hear bubble tips need roughly an 8 month old tank. Each one is different obviously.
I was also thinking about a goby pistol shrimp combo... any suggestions on a pair? I like a yellow watchmen goby but I want ensure they will have enough pods to live on. I've dosed 2 bottles of Tigger pods over the last 2 months.
As far as corals, what all do you suggest and what kind of placement? Here is a pic of the whole setup with closeups of the corals I currently have.

Whelp no suggestions were given. So I went out today and got myself a little combo pack from Matt's Corals in Columbus, OH. 4 fir $100... they were dipped and put in place... mighty ticked off but in nonetheless lol... hopefully they will be a little more settled in by morning. (Zoa frag no clue what they are. If you know, speak up. Plus an Acan, Candy Cane and a Xenia) Better pictures to come tomorrow
