Fish or Corals First?

[raidedxelite]

I have read a lo of debate regarding what to add first.

20g long looking to keep some SPS and LPS. What would you suggest adding first after the cycle is complete CUC in and Params in check. Corals or Fish First?

Both. Just go slow. One or two fish to start. One or two easy coral to start. Watch the tank and go from there.

is ti better to do one or the other first?

Fish are usually cheaper and more forgiving. I would start with fish first.

Personally in a 20g I would add a fish first to see what it does to your water parameters. If you stock some expensive corals and then throw a fish in there and it affects the water parameters negatively you could lose some corals. Some sps are touchy. If you were looking towards soft corals I would be more apt to say either is fine.

If you are adding hardy corals, I like to add them first. Wait for the sensitive corals until your tank has matured.
