Tank cycled, now what?

[liljosh609]

All parameters are good, and the tank has gone through all of its stages. I've had a snail in there for almost a week and he's been eating up the diatoms. The tank has been setup for over 3 weeks. Since everything is fine, could I get coral this weekend?

How many gallons? Do you have all the live rock you need? What corals are you thinking about getting? What is the goal ?

 

[liljosh609]

2.5 gallon and I have all live rock I need. I just want some zoanthids, mushrooms, and maybe some xenia. Possibly some more inverts and maybe even a small fish.

 

[LizWise]

I would add any inverts you plan on having now wait a week and start with the Zoa's ..

 

[liljosh609]

Ok awesome! Thanks for all of the advice.

 

[LizWise]

Mushrooms are hardier than Zoa's even so you can do those at the same time.. Thats what i started with.. and some green star polyps.. I'd just wait on the fish and the Xenia for at least a month..

Ok. Will do. I ordered long hair green eyed girl zo, bright green polyp, and candy apple zoanthids for $24 including shipping!

Wow! That's a deal! Where did you order from?

Reefs2go. I got reduced shipping because I live within the zone. They're shipping from Florida, I live in North Carolina so I'm just inside it. Since they're zoas, they are level 3 shipping, so they can successfully ship them in 2 days. Most other corals are $20 to ship anywhere though. All of their corals are well priced

Yea it really is. Also note-I put them in the cart when they were on sale for $5 for 5 polyps, one for $5 for 10 polyps, and one for $2 with 5 polyps. Then I checked out. But now I think the prices are $10...still a good deal Imo.
