32.5 Gallon coral stocking ideas

Bear Claw · Mar 9, 2022

I have an 8 month old Fluval Flex and have some corals but I am looking to get more. Heres the corals and equipment I have now:

1 Zoa Frag
1 Rasta Leather
1 war coral frag
1 Goniopora
1 frogspawn

for equipment I have an Ai Prime 16 HD LED and an Aquatop Max Flow cps1 powerhead

Any recommendations for new corals and equipment?

I'd expect that you need a second prime on a tank that long, no?

Other than that, the equipment you need is really determined by what kind of corals you want to have. If this is your first tank, it's a great idea to take it slow and spread out your coral purchases. Assuming that you're measuring calcium and alkalinity, I suggest that you check out montipora digitata. It's a very hardy and colorful coral that will be able to thrive under the AI prime. A nice foray into SPS keeping.

Thank so much for the tips! I have always wanted a monti. I’ll do a bit of research on the AI Prime to see if I need 2
