Which first?

[TrevorL]

So my cycle is reaching the end and I had my water tested by the store near me and they said it’s fine. Which would be the better thing to add first fish or coral? I’m thinking fish but I’ve seen other things what do y’all recommend?

Personally I would add a fish and make sure your ammonia is 0. And keep an eye on it.

Fish first, and coral later....

Fish first. The water chemistry is straight forward for fish. Take your time and dial in the chemistry, alk calcium and magnesium, while lowering your phosphates and nitrates before adding coral. You can also run lower lights for a shorter period for fish only which help combat algae growth from getting out of control. After about a month of fish only I would start a fuge if you want and then add corals about a week after that.
