I am adding my first corals next week. Any suggestions?
Here are some tank stats:
Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate all 0 (and have been for a couple of weeks)
Ph and alk normal
Calcium 350 (but I am doing with B-Ionic and it is going up 25ppm/day and so it will be about 400 by the time I add corals.
I am currently dosing B-Ionic and will start dosing Iodine and Trace when I add the corals.
It is a 25 gallon flat back hexagon with 2x65 compact flourescent lights.
Circulation consists of a rio 800 return pump and a rio 600 in tank (there is another pump attached to my protein skimmer). I am considering the placing the two rios with two maxijet 900s.
I plan on recreating a shallow Indo-Pacific reef with LPS, mushrooms, zoas, etc. Where would be a good place to start coral-wise?
Thanks a lot
