So what circulation have you got in the tank at the minute?

Finish the rest up and it'll work really well

Don't forget: 80- 90% of any fish added without quarantine and fallow to a new dry rock setup are dead to disease within 5-8 mos, source, current fish disease forum any post. A better start: corals and clean up crew to enjoy during fallow


Fish disease forum has fallow description as link at top. 30 mins read self directed in fish disease forum, any post, will show you how fish disease works when preps are skipped. Ammonia cycling is not the fish killer, the hobby has mis- aimed the cannon and the real culprit is getting away.

Feed lightly as you slowly add animals, if you see uneaten food or waste be vacuuming it up quickly, nothing stays in tank to rot is first gardening habit.

If the cost of water changes is an issue I would stay away from corals

I don't know the actual water volume you have, but I'm guessing changing 4-5 gallons every 2 weeks would be fine. If you would rather keep a weekly schedule, 2-3 gallons per week would be fine.
