Nice maroons.

the tank looks good though.

[stephensturman]

thanks everyone! is it safe to still start stocking it with corals?

[lReef lKeeper]

i, personally, would wait until the diatoms are gone. especially for SPS corals, i would wait at least a month to make sure everything is staying stable.

Looks like some cyano on the rocks too, assuming those are air bubbles, not sand. Nothing to worry about yet, but if it is cyano, keep an eye on it.

How long has the tank been set up? These diatom outbreaks usually settle down as the tank stabalizes.
