I have a small (15G) FOWLR tank for many years. I am seriously thinking about upgrading to a much larger 60+G tank in a few months. I do maintenance once a week, canister filter cleaning (fluval 306, oversize for this tank) & 20% water change. My ammonia, nitrite is at zero. Nitrate is between 5-10. From what I read, this is not too bad for fish only tank. I use the ReaSea test kit. I control the feeding. Feed 2-3 times a day, small amount. I get upset with the fish if they don't finish the food. Haha
I did not test for other parameters. I don't test often since this is a very mature tank setup ( >15 years). Currently house a neon dotty back and 2 green chromist and a couple of hermit. 1 inch of sand and maybe 10-15lb of live rock.
Do you think its suicide to add corals to this tank? I don't have a good light right now , but plan on getting something like AI PRIME 16 HD ( can be reuse when i get a larger tank.
I am thinking using this current tank as a learning/experiment with some easy corals before upgrading. Any recommendations/opinion? Or it will be easier to wait and add corals on a larger tank. The big tank will have a skimmer for sure.
