This is my first post so bear with me and I will do my best to include as much information as I can.
I’m new to saltwater but not new to aquariums we’ve got 9 tanks total in our house including 2 saltwater tanks.
The tank in question is a 90 display tank with a 30 gallon sump with a refugium which I haven’t added any algae to just yet. For equipment I’m running a simplicity 240dc skimmer. Dual 1050gph Current usa eflux wave pumps. Current usa 1900gph eflux return pump which is running at %70. Light is dual 48” current usa ic loop pros. Dual finnex 200hms heaters. I also have a hydor Ato.
The tank has been running for a little over 3 months now and currently has a single mocha storm clown and 5 Mexican turbo snails. turbos and clown have been in the tank a little over a month now and everyone seems happy.
That being said There is a zoanthid colony about 4x3” at my LFS that I have fallen in love with but don’t want to add corals to soon and cause problems. So would be is it safe to add them or should I put my patience pants on and hold off.
also when should I add algae to the refugium and what kind?
I make my own water with rodi and Red Sea coral pro
these are my current tank parameters
SG 1.025 @77.5 degrees
Amonia 0
Nitrates 0
Nitrites 0
PH 8.2
KH 8
CA 410ppm
MG 1310ppm
Thank you everyone in advance for answering questions that you have probably all been asked a million times before
