What would you use instead of GSP? It shouldn't be tall, because there is not much room left
I would probably put something completely inappropriate that would end up dead. Seriously, I'm not knowledgeable enough to give a good answer.
However, if it would work I would think of using a micro like the frag below.

But like I said, you are light years ahead of what I am capable of.

The tank is one month old
Turned on lighting just a week ago. And here are diatoms, just in time
The tank is doing all right and looks awesome. My glass shrimp is still alive and seems happy. Freshwater pump works great, it's powerful enough to shuffle substrate
It turns out that I've used too small heatsink for my DIY LED module. It heats up way more that I've expected and needs a fan for cooling
Well, I will work something out.
By the way, I haven't tested water yet. Not a single vital test including salinity Things are going as planned, it seems unnecessary. I just know what's going on. I hope

Diatoms are blooming, green algae spreads out and GHA is going to rule this world So far my tank looks like post-apocalyptic zombie movie
That's why this guy has been invited to my CUC team
I've bought it as a trochus, but it's definitely not I'd say it's astraea. They eat the same stuff, so it doesn't really matter for me.
Here is how I see the tank now

It seems that my tank is ready for starter corals. Diatoms are not expanding anymore, green film algae is under control. So, where is the best place for that $100 Acro, huh?..
I don't care for GHA bloom because I will handle it one way or another. It just looks ugly but won't harm anyone. The easiest solution is to add Emerald crab (Mithraculus sculptus) to CUC, but overloading a 1.5g tank will make things even worse. Most likely, I'll be removing GHA manually for a while.
What bothers me, is that GHA is growing from sandbed, but not from the main rock. If my sandbed (crushed coral) is leaching phosphates, I might be in some trouble... for a while
Anyway, I've cleaned the tank and made a big water change (90% or so). That's what I was going to do before adding first corals to the tank, stay tuned
