Update:
It's been a couple weeks now. The tank is still going through its algae bloom but my CUC has been keeping it relatively in check.
CUC consists of:
3 Scarlet legged hermits
1 Margarita snail
1 Cerith snail
Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are all 0 ppm.
I had a Yellow Clown Goby in there for a week but traded him in for a Bangaii Cardinal which has always been one of my favorites.
I also made a media basket using plexiglass and egg crate. I am running filter floss, chemipure elite, and purigen in that order.
I purchased a few frags this week and got to meet several forum members like SteveConn, timmmmy55, and BC564 (Blaine).
Blaine even hooked me up with free frags! What a fantastic community.
Here they all are spread out in the tank. I haven't glued anything down because I plan to rescape the tank soon.
