So true.

ok i guess i can wait but are there any other soft corals or anything i can introduce in the meantime? keep in mind i am still dumb to this bio load thing people just keep talking about when is it time to stop adding? how do i know when ive reached my biological limit? how do i know when the tank is stabilized and its ok to add again? i havent even done a water change in the 5 weeks my tank has been up and running and the ammonia has never spiked not even once. all ive done is add water purple up fishes and crabs.

If you want to add something try a couple mushrooms or a small Kenya tree.. something that is quite hardy... if you haven't had a Ammonia spike in the 5 weeks with out water changes it might be still coming...

You can try some button polyps, they can spread quite fast... I would go for Xenia since its also good to bring down a small amount of nitrate.

You can start making some small water change (~10%). Its not a bad thing to do them even if your parameters are ok. Its simply prevention.

my LR is already sprouting polyps how fast do they spread?

Are they polyps or aiptasia?

they are tiny green musroom looking things they look like a flower i also do have aiptasia, the aiptasia are just not dying no matter what i do to them im also being careful not to over treat the aiptasia so as to keep the PH at an acceptable level did I mention that I purchased live sand when I started my tank? this stuff is packeged wet and contains oolite
