Im nuvo 8

Not yet I just got lps yesterday. .. I'm hoping my water changes keep me from needing to. Once it's been a little bit I will assess this. Dosing would be new to me. I would probably manually does 2 part though.
 
Here are some pictures of my tank :)

Everything looks happy. ... keep up with your weekly wc but don't fret about nitrates under 25 unless it looks like something wrong :) my 2 cents. I do 2.5g weekly or split it up biweekly for 1.25g each. I also use stock media so I'm sure your plans for the new media will help! Love it.

No fish... want one, but my snapping shrimp has made himself quite cozy so idk which I'm going to get. Was going to do a royal gramma, but all the cave work I made for this he has built walls of sand and claimed them for himself. Dont want a clown in here cuz I have distant future plans of a black ice pair in a bigger im with an anemone. I may match him up with a pink bar but am afraid if they don't like each other there isn't enough sandbed for both. Maybe a helfrachi but they are expensive and I don't want a netted top atm. So yeah I idk...
 
Get a Bicolor blenny I have that! Also you remeber when I was about to get the nuvo 8 well I got a 55 gallon reef ready!
 
Wow lol. .. love the 8g nuvo but more room for more livestock is great! Lol wtg :D .... was thinking tail spot blenny.... but yeah not rushing it, I'm having fun with my shrimps for now lol
 
Livestock Update

Just got my replacement hammer and some yumas on a stick and they seem to be doing great! Also rearranged a bit to accommodate them. Hope you enjoy :D

Looks good! Don't be afraid to cut the ends off of the frag plugs so you can glue them onto different parts of the rock. That gives you more freedom to place corals wherever you like. The tank is coming along nice
