Any coral will do well in a mature system. Even when a new tank is cycled its still not exactly stable. Id stick to cheap beginners coral for awhile then ease in a few months down the road.

That's my plan, just never had exp with the biocube. Not sure what corals do well together. Is the any I need to stay away from?

 

[KJAG]

The only real issue is the pieces with sweepers stinging other coral. Typical nano setup is SPS higher up and everything else lower, unless you have some deep water Acros etc.. On that list you made everything seems hardy except the bloodshots. Prone to melting from what I hear.

Thanks for the info, what fish would you suggest with those corals?

Great tank to start with, i love my biocube

You'll be good with some clowns, gobys( wouldn't get a mandarin) maybe a jawfish. Live aquaria has a good reef/ fish only/nano list

 

[JasonM38401]

Thanks for the welcome! What can I say I know what I like, just not sure what I like will work out together. I have been out of the hobby for years a ton has changed. Having access to the stuff I see now I'm just like wow...

I picked up a bucket of dry rock from Carl AKA Coralkiller today. Picking up the tank tomorrow, I can't wait.

 

[JasonM38401]

Well I got it up and going

You put dry rock in on the 26th and fish in on the 28th?

 

[JasonM38401]

No the tank was set up, I bought it as a complete set up and moved it. Yes I put dry rock in the tank with live sand, how ever I did add some sand there was not enough sand in the tank to my liking.
