Hey guys
My tank finished cycling about 2 weeks ago. So last Thursday I decided to add my CUC and a small zoo frag. They went right to work and the zoo frag has already began to grow. Yesterday, I decided to add my one and only fish and another zoo frag.
From here on out, i'll be adding just coral. Whats a proper judgement call on whats slow enough to add? I know nothing good happens in this hobby. Is a frag or two every week too often?


Tank is a 10g nano AIO.

Every couple of weeks. Just don't rush. Corals may take time opening up and showing you their size. If they're not starting to multiply...you need to know why, as in, water chemistry.

I would go with a frag every 2 weeks, max. It's not so much that the biological filter in your tank can't handle anything faster, it's that with a 10 gallon, you'll completely fill it in a month or less with 2 frags a week.

Then you'll be looking for a bigger tank. :D
