Adding corals too soon?

[Chiefmaster30]

Am I adding coral too soon? Had a 3 year old mixed reef that crashed when I bought home and moved in November. Never took rock out of water. Ran carbon heavy for a month. Setup new tank 3 months ago and used 1/2 same rock and 1/2 new dead rock. Used all new live sand. Levels are all good! Testing daily. Already have doser back online and chaeto in sump. My nitrates have been 5 for 2 weeks. Alk 9.2, calcium 450, mag 1350. No phosphates.

Depends what your adding

If adding easy corals then no. I would add them early especially if you already know what your doing

Actually it’s mostly easy’s but I just added a birdsnest yesterday and some monti’s. All together I’ve added like 19 frags though.

I'd think you'd be ok, but some feel dead rock gives them some problems. Just see how these go for now? I set up a frag tank about a month ago that's now jammed packed with acros, and I've only lost an already troubled mille and a horrida recently, but used established LR. It did go thru a mini cycle. All else is ok.
