90 liter cude nano reef marine saltwater aquarium uk
Did a 10% water change 2 hours ago
Water change done weekly Sunday ritual lol
My phosphate and nitrate seems a little high to me.
Just thinking about first few soft corals do you guys guys I'm good to go or need a little more work first?
Secondary what corals would you recommend as a first time buyer?
 
Welcome. You might have a little more luck posting in the general reef aquarium discussion.

Parameters don’t look horrible for 3 month old tank. I’d start with some softies or easy LPS and see how things do.

Yes, I realised I posted in the wrong discussion section. Beginner mistake

Do you have photos of your tank?

Zoas, mushrooms, duncans, toadstools, and gsp are what I tell beginners to get!
