8 weeks now past my intial rookie mistake, what next

It's really not that hard and the possibilities for design are almost endless. Just keep it simple.

I agree with all of above lol. A sump is the way to go if you can do it.

Here is a simple design for a sump. Note that it gives you three chambers and still limits the number of baffles you need.

Gotcha,

So in my small tank just how big of a clean up crew ? And lights off for a couple weeks ? Will that mess with my live rock? It is starting to purple up.

It is an API reef test kit. I really wish there was just a digital tester that I can dip in the water and tell me what's going on ! Lol

If I got the Mix of snails on here (20 snails) would that be good ? I'm not overly concerned at this point with the money aspect.

Also, should I add more live rock ?

Oh and what about adding a sump ? What's the best, easyiest way without drilling ?

Pvc pipe and a 10 or 20 gallon tank for sump. I built a 10 gallon sump under my 20 gallon display. Very easy and is running like a champ with some plants in the sump. Look up DIY KING on youtube. He has a ton of videos.
Also I'd add more live rock or even some dry cured rock now since I your tank is still cycling.
