As you have now seen... opinions vary... try it this way... you are almost certain to see most of your first purchase die, but you need some biology... go cheap with the first purchase : )
My apologies... you are right. I shouldn’t have said thatWhy would you tell someone their ‘first purchase’ will die? If parameters are in check and proper husbandry is carried out, nothing will die. This isn’t the 80-90’s anymore where we use hardy fish try to make our tank cycle and hope they survive the ammonia.
OP... your first fish/coral won’t die if you know what your tank is telling you and you feel confident in your knowledge/husbandry of said fish/coral.
