Hello I'm new to saltwater and I have tried to get some help from the people over at nano reef as I have a Biocube 32. I have done a lot of research and I'm learning new stuff everyday I'm not a complete idiot and have had much success. But still and always will want to know more. Yet the people over at nano reef have definitely bummed my excitement for this hobby. Answering all my questions with irrelevant information completely off the simple questions I ask. Hoping this site is better.

So here's my question. I have measured my calcium magnesium and alkalinity and from the research that I have done my levels aren't where they need to be for Coral. I have all seachem and red sea supplements and products. On Friday I would like to add my first piece of coral I am just confused as to what my levels need to be to add my first piece I understand that Coral consumes calcium and alkalinity overtime and may need to be adjusted by dosing. But my question is to get started should I just add one and hope for the best or is there a way to make sure my first one lives?

That is pushing it. I would start with mushrooms or a polyps;)

Agreed, and double check all your parameters first, make sure Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Phosphate, Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium are all within acceptable range. Start with a few easier corals such as @jsker suggested ;)
