Coral or Fish First

[gottalikesharks]

My tank is cycling now but when it's done do you like to add some corals first or fish first???

First clean up crew. Then some corals and a fish.

Doesn't really matter, I've had some hitchhiker softies from while the tank was still cycling. Still alive today. There was even a small stylopora which I sold, grew quite nicely.

+1 ^^^. CUC first, but IMO, I would not add anything for a good 6 weeks if you follow procedures and quarantine first which takes around 6 weeks. That being said, I would not add any corals for the 1st-2nd month, to give your tank time to stabilize. Fish are a little more forgiven than corals. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not planning on adding anything yet, just planning ahead!!! Almost forgot about CUC though.....
