Coral Question

[COwCOw]

Hi, I'm planning to pick up some LPS and Soft coral next week and I'm wondering if my tank is matured enough and ready for coral.
ammonia:0
nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20
My tank is about 3-4 weeks old with 2 clownfisn and 2 turbo snails (they're doing great!) and I'm using the aquaknight a029 on my 29 gallon aqueon tank and I'm wondering if I'm in the clear to be able to get some.
Thank you

hi ,i would suggest a small "tester" frag or two,on the cheap side,see how they do in a week or so before spending $$$..

Agree with Fishguy, your tank is most likely totally fine but there are other variables to consider such as being new to the hobby and the fact that the quality of livestock can vary greatly store to store so it is always best to ease into anything new.

What's your calc, alk, and other parameters relevant to coral-keeping?

I do not know my calcium but I will get a calcium test kit ASAP. But my alk is at 8. Im currently researching what parameters are good and what they mean.

Cant be stable in 3-4weeks.
I’d work on fish and get by some of the ugly stages first, or, the uglies get on your coral and they die.

I picked up a green Duncan and a yellow watchmen goby on Sunday and they're doing great! Fed the coral and they're bigger than ever, Looking good so far, Thank you for your Idea!
