Hi, ive had my tank up and running for 2 months now, i currently have no fish but shall be getting some within the next month, i have a small CC at the moment. My tank is around 25 gallons with 30lbs or live rock. My parameters are;
0 ammonia
0 nitrate
0 nitrite
1.025 salinty
pH 8.1

Ive looked around on the internet but most of the sites seem to say beginner coral n im not too sure what to believe, what would you guys recommend, thanks for your time

what are your lighting specs - that will tell you what type of marine life you can maintain.

Wow, isn't that a lot of rock in a 25 gallon tank?

It depends on what type/density(sp?) of rock it is;)

Doest look like too much rock when its in the tank, my lights are the standard 1x30W florescent lights that came with the tank when i bought it

Start with some cleanup crew and a fish. Then add some shrooms or zoos or even a kenya tree in another week. Then wait. look how your stock is doing and do your readings and water changes then in a few weeks add more cleanup crew and a fish or coral then repeat. Slow and easy alwasy best.
