I’ve been in the underwater hobby for nearly two years. My friendly fish and friends keep me happy while staring through the glass sometimes for hours. I’m preparing to enter corals and would like some advice.

my first step I plan to invest in a RO/DI system and start exchanging old salt water into the nano tank. I imagine this could be a relatively quick process considering the size of the tank.

I have a good looking clean up crew (snails, crabs, and a sand conch) all doing their part to eat away at that algae. My lighting is good and filtration decent with an appropriately sized power head.

what do you folks suppose is necessary before the first coral goes in. (I have had an Anemone in the tank for nearly four months).

I think I heard somebody else say stability is the key. And this person is right. And slow and steady leads to stability. Sounds to me like you are on the right track. That said there are several corals that are hard enough and actually bring in more biological diversity in their bacterial population to help add to that stability. Best of luck.
