Reef Tank is 2 Months old, is too soon for a photosynthetic gorgonian frag ?

[SomeHappyFish]

I noticed a great little frag for $10, and I haven't seen them very often, so I'm wondering if it would be too quick to add one? My plan was to add my first coral only after 3 months and I would have started with a small zoa frag.

its about 1-1.5" tall

if you params are good, IMO add away

I test my tank each sunday. My last parameters since where these:
Salinity 35ppt
Phosphate 0.01ppm
Nitrate 29.3ppm
pH 8.0
Temp 77.5 - 78.5

Nitrate 29.3ppm

A little high for gorgonian's IMO

What levels do you suggest for a gorgonian ?

Water parameters​

Gorgonian corals and sea fans require pristine reef tank water parameters…not necessarily because of their own individual fragility, but more because of their susceptibility to injury from encroaching algae problems.

• pH: 8.1-8.4
• Temperature: 73-84 F
• Hardness: 8-12 dkh
• Salinity: 1.025 (measured as specific gravity)
• Phosphates, silicates, nitrates, nitrites, ammonia: as close to zero as you can manage

Make sure you provide it lots of “white” light.
