Thanks to everybody, i felt really welcome!

It's nice being part of the r2r community!

UPDATE

Weeks have passed and like everybody i was reading, waiting was hard!

So i tested the water last week and at the local store my "mentor" said the parameters are perfect and i can start 'reefing' like a pro :)

So i asked and my LS did say, that i can add fish and corals since my tank has matured well. As he finished the sentence my wallet started crying: 2 clownfish, 2 hermit crabs, 1 signigobius biocellatus, 1 pseudochromis fridmani and 2 corals later my tank is full of life!

What do you think?

As my bank account recovers from the damage done i'd like to add more corals.
What do you reccomend?

Happy to read you soon!

future, please post pics under white light intensity as these are very blue. Additionally, I Hope the LFS didnt sell you or encourage you to add these specimens all at once. The goby in the pic looks thin and should have a round belly

Thank you for the advice.

Days passed inbetween one and the other.

I will take a closer look at the goby.
 

DO YOU USE A PAR METER WHEN PLACING NEW CORAL IN YOUR TANK?

  • Yes! I think it's important for the longterm health/growth of my coral.

    Votes: 5 7.1%
  • Yes, but I don't find that it is necessary all the time.

    Votes: 16 22.9%
  • Not currently, but I would like to.

    Votes: 31 44.3%
  • No. I don't measure PAR and my corals are still healthy/growing.

    Votes: 14 20.0%
  • Other (please explain).
