Indeed, I intend to do this slow and steady.The list looks great .
a few little minor things that could set your timing off a little ...
5 months seams like a rush to mature any tank to fulfill a mandarins diet or stability to add corals .
take your time and don’t rush .
Once you’re in the hobby , there is no way out .
My as well make the best of it .
take your time and enjoy every day .
The 5 months mark is only the moment where I'll start slowly adding more fish and corals, but it'll most likely take well over a year before it's fully stocked.
The steps would be something like this...
1. Buy and quarantine the fish, one at a time, for a couple weeks.
2. Add the fish to the tank with the proper acclimation method.
3. Monitor for another couple weeks.
4. If everything is fine, go back to step 1 for a new fish.
The Mandarin will indeed take a good while before it's added.
