If your water is testing "fine" as you say it is. It would probably be safe to start slowely adding some livestock and CUC. Now the fun begins deciding what kind of habitat your going to create and whats compatible with what.

Coraline algea is a PITA as it can consumes a tonne of calcium and if you start getting into any stoney coral you will be dosing for the health of the pretty red crusty stuff. Lol.

Sounds like your ready to dive in, take the leap. Remember go slow and add small amounts. You need to let your tank adjust to the bioload change. Slow and steady wins the race here.

Good luck!

And watch out for jumpers.

Those would be Copepods and Amphipods! My fish love them and they are a good sign. They will eat extra food and a bunch of other stuff.

Hope this Helps
