Man i had a korilla nano i could have gave you, but my wife accidentally trashed it along with a mag float, skimmer pump attachment.
When your ready for coral i have still have lots of HS chalice, purple tip, and purple haze.

Jeremy, most of your bio filtration is in the substrate and rock. Water holds very little, if any, beneficial biofiltration bacteria.
