My first aquarium is a 55 gallon. I’m not shy about researching info testing water or water changes. Parameters are perfect as of right now after a few months.

My equipment set up is
filter 440 empire
Current USA duel pro lights 48”
Wave pump 1050 eflux for loop system
And one heater

Fish stock as of now
2 clown fish
1 royal gramma
1 flame angelfish
1 cleaner shrimp
6 snails
12 hermit crabs

Future fish stock I want it
1 blennie (not sure what kind)
1 goby (not sure what kind)
1 mandarin dragonet

As for Corals I’m lost on not sure where to start. I keep getting sucked into the anemones even though I’ve seems all the issues they could pose with stinging other corals and moving around.

Is my set up ready for corals or should I be rearranging something?

Post your actual results. To call your parameters "perfect" is nice. But they have to be perfect for what you will be keeping. As an example, I don't concern myself with calcium in my FOWLR tank, but in my tank where my corals reside, you can be sure I keep my calcium elevated.

How old is the tank?
