Adding Corals

[MMAX]

What is the general rule for adding corals to a tank in terms of how long the tank has been running? I've had mine running since the beginning of February and have been thinking about maybe adding some.

If you've got the hang of maintaining levels, go for it. Start slow, see how they do.

What are some good types to start out with?

Well that all depends on your tank. Size, flow, lighting. Give some details, we can suggest some types.

Along with Brad's questions, what are the readings of everything you can test for (include salinity and temp)? Do you have coralline growing on your glass yet?

20 gallon tank, Fluval 305 cannister with spraybar outflow, one Top-Fin 50 powerhead, Coralife 65 skimmer, Coralife 24" 65 watt 50/50 fixture (2 white, 2 actinic 03 blue), salinity usually in the 1.023-1.025 range and temp about 26-27 celcius(80F).
