It would be great for you to give us updates on your nutrient readings, especially nitrates, if they are high. I never had much to start with so I relied more on what I saw in the tank than anything else. The first week normally shows mainly brown slime, so don't get discouraged. The second week shows some green and by the third week you should have good growth going.

i will for sure, my nitrates were around 40 when i checked them last and last water change and i doubt their any lower now so there def high. i need to figure out how im gonna get lighting in there for both sides its all a nice tight fit, but now that its built ill arrange my skimmer and reactor around abit for some more room, the home depot i was today had diddly for lighting lol
