I waited about a month before adding soft corals you want to wait a little longer before you add lps corals.Salinity is 1.024 in the tank right now. I see what you mean @Colin_T - next time I will wait 24 hours before adding new water.

Is it true you should wait 6 months before adding live coral to a new saltwater tank? (I’m just getting ideas in my head)
Hmm, ok. I’ll probably wait until after I get stock.I waited about a month before adding soft corals you want to wait a little longer before you add lps corals.
Sounds good to me. I tend to stay away from crabs other than hermits since some species have a reputation of eating corals such as emerald crabs.Hmm, ok. I’ll probably wait until after I get stock.
Speaking of stock... here’s what I’m thinking:
Does that sound good?
- 2x Clownfish
- 1x Watchman Goby
- 2x Scarlet Banded Shrimp
- Some sort of crab (any suggestions?)
How about the scarlet hermit crab?Sounds good to me. I tend to stay away from crabs other than hermits since some species have a reputation of eating corals such as emerald crabs.

I have always dreamed of keeping a saltwater tank as well! Once I get livestock, it will truly be a dream come true.Very cool! This is definitely on my bucket list. I’ll be following your progress closely.
That’s awesome! Can’t wait to see it all set up.I have always dreamed of keeping a saltwater tank as well! Once I get livestock, it will truly be a dream come true.
