I've wasted too much time and money over the years on impulse buys. I have learned my lesson many times over and understand now that patience and research is the best bet.
Everyone can share these virtues but people will still go out and waste their money on bad decisions. It seems that in life one must actually touch the stove element to understand it is hot...

Trust these people... learn from their mistakes and loss of animal life and money... and lots of frustration...they have been in the hobby for a long time and have been in your shoes before and most probably made the wrong decision and lost... so please take their warnings very seriously as this will make you a better reefer in the long run....patents
Just my $0.02 Cheers Tyler

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.
