I added Reef Flux yesterday and there are a couple of corals I want to buy, but I would have to pick them up this week. Is there any reason why it would be a mistake to add them to the tank, assuming parameters are ok?
Is it OK to add corals during Reef Flux treatment?

My corals, inverts & all but 1 fish did fine with Reef Flux
Yellow tang, not so much. Moved Yellow Tang over into QT tank for 'vacation' as seemed near death few hours after adding Reef Flux. Yellow tang went 'home' 3 weeks later and everyone doing fine minus algae that came in from having added corals without good dip process. Now my dip process will be using all three types (from BRS video): 1) hydrogen peroxide, 2) iodine based, 3) natural based ... and not in video but I should probably add final type 4) Bayer (insecticide) to ensure no future buggy pests either...

My Gem Tang Is Watching You
I guess I will error on the side of caution and say I would hold off. Corals that have been in the tank would be no issue, but introducing frags to a tank that was just dosed with Reef Flux, I am not sure on how they will handle it considering they will already be stressed from the introduction itself.
It may be possible if you wait as long as possible before introducing the new frags, but not sure. You have to remember that when you use Reef Flux all the nutrients that were in the algae you are trying to kill will be introduced right back into the tank.
