What do I need to start adding corals?

[RoryJ]

I was originally going to just do a FOWLR but since seeing everyones tanks and threads I think I wanna go with some corals as well..Do i need anything else to start?..I am just about to cycle my 110 this weekend so I have some time..My new goal is to have some beginner coral as well as fish, any ideas?..As of right now I have dry rock/sand in tank with wet/dry system running.

Nobody?

Patience is key, my friend. Sometimes you have to wait a while for a reply.

What equipment do you currently have? (Lights, flow, etc.) I think that would be helpful to know

Get testing kits and make sure your parameters are good. There are plenty of posts already on water chemistry on here and various test kits to choose from. It's also not as scary as you think. Proper lighting and chemical balance is all it takes. Zoas are a good starting coral and you can find some sweet deals in your town if it's big enough. I'm in Denver and we have our own local aquarium clubs with monthly gatherings but if not just roam the forums here and you'll be set in no time! Good luck
