Your CUC are as interesting as anything in the tank. Personally I would add a few snails and crabs first. Leave the shrimp until fish are added as they are more scavengers. Peppermint shrimp can tackle aiptasia but they can be a bit hit or miss in this area. They also can start eating your...

From your reference and the position you are most likely in. Then, finally, there is cured live rock. Fully cured rock that is quickly placed into your tank with minimal transportation time, such as from your LFS (local fish store) to your home, may 'instantly' cycle your tank. The beneficial...

Don't add any prawn to rot. That's only for dead rock as D has commented on. Add some CUC. Feed them sparingly. They normally feed of algae and left over food fish have not eaten.

Your freshwater, fishless cycling instincts are kinda getting in the way. You don't fully stock a reef at the start. Think of it like a fish in cycle. Every time you add to the bio load your live rock increases is bacterial colony. That's why we add slowly stocking wise in a reef. Live...

If your LFS rock was cured and there wasn't much time getting the rock into your tank, then there probably was little die off in between.  Hence no ammonia spike.  No need to add amonnia.   Wait for some diatoms and start adding a few CUC.

Ive never had ich (saltwater) but from what I've read a lot of advice is to feed well and keep your hands out of the tank. So the fish are less stressed. It should resolve itself.

Usually t5s minimum for softies. You may get away with T8s with reflectors if corals placed close to the light but it may be a push. You might be best sorting your lighting out first and then start your reef. That way your not compromising on your coral choice due to lighting.

It's noticeable. I have it in the tv room so it is manageable. I don't think I would like it in my bedroom though.

Your scape and corals look fabulous.

Well they have avoided my torch and Duncan's. Just bought a Toadstool so hoping that will host them.
