New to forum and the hobby

I just setup my new red Sea 130 D. I love it so far. It has been up a couple of weeks now. Live rock in place, tank is cycling nicely. I introduced two clowns and 3 peppermint shrimp. Any tips on how to start stocking corals? I have not tested for calcium as of yet and I'm sure I'll need to get that up before I start adding.

Thanks Mike.. One good piece of advice a friend gave to me is to take it slow and learn as much as I can so far I'm having fun

Welcome to R2R!!! As far as adding corals I would first keep a close eye on your ammonia and nitrates to make sure the cycle is complete. Next I would go with a few fish while checking calcium, alkalinity and magnesium to make sure those levels are correct. When everything is where it should be add something "simple" like a zoa frag and go from there. Best of luck!

Welcome to R2R
Nice looking tank you got there. Suggest you start a build thread in the members tank section for more info on how to move forward with the tank.
