Coral ready?

[brichard925]

Looking for opinions on my levels and if adding some beginner and newly established tank corals is okay idea.

Tank has been cycled for 2 weeks and a pair of clownfish are currently living in the 25g aio cube.

All my levels are salifert tested.
- Ammonia : 0
- Nitrite : 0-0.5
- Nitrate : 5-10
-pH : 8-8.15
-Magnesium : 1160
-Calcium : 365
-KH : 8.0
- Phosphate : .03ish

Wondering what corals I should start with. Really like the looks of gsp and pulsing xenia. If I got one of those “pests” where should I put in tank?

Thanks!!

Rule of thumb is wait at least 3 months before corals as the tank is too clean for them. But xenia is a really good coral to start with when your tank is more mature!

I wouldnt do either. Butttttttt I do like the look of a GSP wall!

i would wait, corals are can be super picky with their conditions. If you are in a rush there’s an article on how to get it up going faster. https://reefbuilders.com/2021/05/25...n comes nitrate,suffering from an algae bloom.

Very cool scape. If you do end up putting any of those two in try making a separate little island for them or glue them to a tiny frag rock away from your main rockwork
