I spontaneously bought some corals on a R2R sale. I have 2 clownfish that have been in the tank for about 2+ weeks now.
I have a fully cycled QT tank setup for a foxface coming in this week, but am not prepared for corals. I'm thinking today I will go pick up a small (5gal) AIO tank from petco and try to quickly cycle it with a sponge thats been in my DT for about a week, and I have a bottle of biospira.
All I have is API kits and have only measured, NH3 = 0ppm NO2 = 0ppm NO3 = ~10ppm - I do the reef master kit which has calcium, phosphate.
Here a pics of the corals I got. I've read a lot about removing the plugs from the corals, but looking at these corals, how the heck are you supposed to do that?
So I plan on quickly setting up a QT tank. Dipping in Bayer, dipping in CoralRx, and letting them sit in QT for an undetermined amount of time.
Any tips/tricks/advice for me?
