It would take 1-2 months to fully cycled before any corals should be in the tank. I hope they are doing well. I am assuming you have tested 0 ammonia and nitrite.

Yupp everything is doing fantastic, all the parameters are stable! And I meant by 1 month, meaning the corals have been in there for one month but I let the tank do its thing for about 2 months. All the coral except the big leather rock!

Good job Kyle. You are doing a great job for a 16 year old. Now just sit back and watch the tank grow.

Update on the tank. Got a skimmer, put a ac70 DIY refugium on it as well . I have a YWG, and a banded hi-fin goby, with rare zoas.

Looking good. Be careful with leaving the mag cleaner in the tank. Lots of talk about them scratching tanks if you do.

I just saw the video, and my only recommendation would be to maybe slow the flow down a little bit if you can. It seems to be doing fine, but the corals you have in there would really strut their stuff for you if you decreased the flow a bit.

Other than that, well done! Is that just a standard 10g with the plastic border taken off?

Its a really cool looking tank, and you've got some sweet zoas there! Putting any kind of hob overflow on a ten gal is going to take up loads of real estate. What water are you using for water changes? I think I vaguely remember you having got a Rodi, is it maybe time for a media swap?

Yes I use a ac70 DIY fuge, I use ro/di water with reef crystals. I put the white media stuff that comes with the ac, to control phosphates. And thank you @bigpink I got the zoas from @montrosereef really nice an helpful guy btw!
