Welcome to Reef2reef!y biggest tip for you is to take things slowly and be patient!
welcome to R2R, nice to have you!
Greetings and Welcome to our collective obsession!!
First of all, it's great to have you here. And congrats on your tank. With lighting at this point, leave it off. You can minimize the ugly stage by letting your system cycle with the nitrifying bacteria you added plus the fish (and I'd keep it with just the clowns BTW). Leave those lights off for about 4 weeks past your cycle being completed. Algae is photosynthetic and you want to make sure you have more bacteria in and on those rocks to prevent them from getting a hold. Personally, when my 155 goes up the lights aren't coming on for 3 months.
