Looks great. I love that clean look. I'm shooting for something like that with a rimless 18" cube. Good Job!

If its brown, looks kind of gooey and gets stringy with little bubbles, its dino. Plus dino kills snails. If your snails have been dying since you noticed it, it most likely is dino.

It is normal for fairy wrasse to be shy when first introduced. IME males more than females. Give it some time. If it is eating it should be ok.

250w DE bulbs would be fine. I'd suggest the Megachrome 14.5 K. Nice white light with a hint of blue. Plus high PAR.

Bottom dwelling fish are most at risk with a carpet anemone although anything that gets close enough to be touched by the tentacles is a potential meal.

I think it's freshwater daphnia about 1/16 inch long. I use it on occasion. I rinse a small amount in water before adding it to the tank. 1/8 tsp is a good start. My fish like it.

It shouldn't be a problem. It's the green brittle serpent stars that are known to kill fish.

Enjoy it now because after lights out, you'll probably never see it again.

From what I understand, coralline does not grow well under metal halide lighting. I don't think it is the placement of the lights. I have my light fixture sitting right on the tank with no problems.
