Ok to start adding corals?

[redspot321]

tanks been up for about two months now, all parameters are optimal and very stable. Is it Ok to add some softies?

At which rate should you add corals? 1 per week / month?

Zoos and mushrooms might be okay at this point. It really wouldn't hurt to wait a bit longer though...

It never hurts to wait longer... If not, I would try a lower priced coral and see how it does. However, my first coral was a large hammer...it did great and lived for years. I don't think I waited as long as you have already!

i suggest a few small zoos, or shrooms. if they thrive, greta, if not, youa re not out much..


but, as has been said, this hobby requires a lot of patience....


how much nitrate does your tank have if any?

All posts true, I like the one about trying a low cost coral first!

Good luck and ...

I think you could certainly add some zoos or shrooms. I think you've got the patience thing down, most people get antsy and start adding stuff much sooner, though that's not a good practice. I would add maybe a couple of small to medium size zoo rocks and/or a small fish or two and see how they do. After that I would think you could add a coral or two every couple weeks.
