Many corals will benefit from being spot fed with reef roids or similar coral food.Is there anyway I can supplement the nutrients?
You can dose nutrients but I’m not a huge fan of that due to potentially screwing up params too much.

Send some pics of how your tank looks now
Thank you! Based on my tank situation that my water parameters are good, do you think I could add some now?This is a halfway decent list, but
Don't get xenia, it grows like a weed and will get out of control.
Get a cheap zoa colony, not palythoa. Palys also grow like weeds and are extremely toxic.
Don't get leather. They release a toxin that will stunt the growth of nearby corals.
Candy cane
Zoas
Frogspawn
Are a good start.

And you don’t recommend mushrooms rightThis is a halfway decent list, but

No. The ones that would do well like trumpets are weeds that I spent months eradicating from one of my older tanks. The ones I would actually add to a tank, like ricordea, rhodactus, jawbreaker types, and bounce types are much more expensive and a bit more sensitive to new tanks.And you don’t recommend mushrooms right
Yes I would say so based on your statement that you used bottled bacteria and the time its been set up I think you are cycled.So you would say the tank is done cycling right
I have have lots of Xenia and they remain vonfined to where I place themThis is a halfway decent list, but

I'm not completely against palys, but I frigking hate those green button polyps like in the bottom left of your picture. They took over like a weed and every time I thought I eradicated them, they kept coming back.I have have lots of Xenia and they remain vonfined to where I place them
Leathers can release terpenes when stressed which is rare. Palys are toxic when mishandled
I have several colonies which have been a pleasure addition
The green invaders I’ve had at least 5 years in same rock- have never spreadI'm not completely against palys, but I frigking hate those green button polyps like in the bottom left of your picture. They took over like a weed and every time I thought I eradicated them, they kept coming back.
I do keep palys in my mixed reef, but they are slower growing and more valuable to frag. Right now I have God of wars, utter chaos, and vampires in drag. Grow at a reasonable pace and sell for at least $5 a polyp any time they overgrow their space.
These are the ones that basically took over my tank. Got them as a freebie, took over, tried to eradicate them each tank move and failed 3 times. 4th time was the charm.The green invaders I’ve had at least 5 years in same rock- have never spread
