Just recently started my very first marine tank as of feb 23rd. So everything seems to be well. This Place is striking similar to reef lounge.

Very nice!

Welcome to RS and thanks for the pics!

Have you started to test your water yet? If the rock hasn't been cycled yet, that maroon probably won't survive. When rock cycles, it causes ammonia and nitrite spikes, both of which are deadly to fish and most inverts.

Yes, I have tested WQ every day and keep a very detailed log of every event or addition. Most of the LR was cured and I put 31lbs of uncured in first along with cocktail shrimp and a wee bit of wee. Had NH up to 5ppm and everything has come down to 0 except NO3 which is currently at 5 ppm and dropping(with weekly water changes) Currently adding calcium little by little to support reef life(currently up to 320) No plans for anything soon. Just making myself habits for the future.

Excellent! I really like your aquascaping too. You're going to end up with a beautiful piece of the ocean.
