When is the right time to add coral?

[MermaidTail]

Tank has been cycling for three weeks, parameters are stable. I am in the diatom stage, starting to get a nice bloom. Added my CUC yesterday.

For what it's worth, I started adding coral at day 30, but all my params were consistently stable at that point, and currently, all is well!

Thank you, great information, out of the six stages mentioned, my system is at #5 atm.
Regarding the water changes, I have read that you do water changes on the system until Nitrates show up in order to lower them, but during nitrties stage the cycle slow down.



Thank you.



Thank you. Stage #6 should come around soon, hopefully.

Sorry, I thought you said you had nitrates? You also have a cyano bloom? I'm assuming you are cycling your tank with dry live rock? Have you tested phosphates?
