Hello everyone.

My tank has been up and running for 2 weeks now and 2 days ago I got my first first. 2 Green Chromis...well, they are doing great! eating and swimming against the current of the power head...lol. My question is...how long should I wait before adding any corals? I wanted to add a pulsing xenia as soon as I am able (yes, I know they are invasive but I will keep it under control). Any help you can give would be appreciated.
 
You can add coral as soon as your water parameters are in line. Ammonia, nitrites should be zero, not low, zero. There should only be trace amounts of Nitrates and phosphates. This should have been the case before adding fish also. What type of lighting do you have?

+1

I assume u have the stock lighting still which should be fine for Xenia... But I did have a problem with mine when my salinity was a little low so make sure ur salinity is also correct. :-)
