Hello, everyone,
As I am slowly working my way towards adding corals to my tank, a newbie question came to mind:
Do I need to add all my corals at once, or how do I go about acclimating new corals if I already have a few existing in my tank? (the second part of the question is thinking more down the road).
I have a RedSea 250, with 2 x RedSea 90 LED lamps so it's easy to me to set up in the app the acclimation.
However, my plan is to go slow and start with some soft corals first, until I get to learn a bit more. Second step, I will try to add a few LPS and then, once I am more comfortable and I can see/keep stability in my tank, I'll add some SPS as well.
Since I am the type that likes to go the slow way, I was wondering how I would acclimate the LPS, once I already have some softies established, or the same question for when I add the SPS.
What I try to avoid is the existing corals to start dying/degrading/discolorating due to the lack of light or anything like that, while the new ones are acclimating.
I am not plannig to run a QT for corals, but to place them directly in DT. (Of course, only after temp drip acclimating and dip them).
Thank you!
