I would highly suggest keeping the tank as dark as possible while cycling. This will help insure the rock will develop a bio film on it to keep algae from taking hold on the rock and keep any algae from growing due to high nutrients from the cycle. Shut off those lights for the first month.
Thank you for the suggestion. So far the snails have taken care of any algae that has grown.
I will definite keep that in mind and reduce lights or turn off if I've got excessive algae growth

very impressive, way to be smart and take everything slow!
Confetti is doing well, finally sprouting and growing. I'll grab a picture next time

I bought the sump, need to go pick it up and start plumbing it [emoji4]
Yep, wanted to have less water to change while I get the pod population mature, sponges growing on the live rocks. Figured it's going to take a good 3-6 months before chemistry is stable for adding livestock. Basically cooking rocks
Boarded in niseko. A friend ended up neck deep in snow, so much fluffy powder!!

Fish swimming in the qt. If a fish looks sick, I can catch and treat.

Welcome. Gonna be a slow grind!
Sump in March. Maybe skimmer in April or may
Haha they may! But a 5 gallon bucket is just the same. A few weeks to get the population up.

A bit fishy
Veeeeery cool. That basement is awesome. Do you have a final vision for flow and filtration? Hydrowizards?
Are you just going to do a 25% water change weekly to take care of water quality? lol
I imagine you will eventually need a pretty large skimmer and calcium reactor?
I used to be more of a sand fan but with SPS obsession comes massive flow obsession comes hatred of sand blowing around.
