Hello
I just got my new fish, 2 bonded Clarkii they are beauties.

I am 6 weeks in a new tank and everything is good. My PH was low but dosing has cured that.

When and what corals can I ad?
I want beginner corals and the Clarkii were both chilling in a white anemone when I got them.

I know it’s way too early for an anemone but I see some corals are good hosts for them.

When can I add a few corals and what kind would be best?

Many thanks
My Parameters are all with in range.

How low was your pH, and what did you dose the tank with?

PH isn't super critical for fishes or an anemone but bouncing the levels around is likely to stress them for no good reason.

I suspect this is why no one else has replied?

Feed the fish to feed the nem and pray it settles in and enjoys the light in the tank. GL.

I didn’t get an anemone. The fish I got were in a tank with one.

My Ph was 7.9 and I dosed it up .2 and then a day later another .2.

It’s at 8.1ish now. I have the color coded tests and they aren’t super accurate.

I was wanting to know what corals I could get to replicate an anemone.
I’ve read they don’t do good on new tanks, so I am guessing at least 9 months to a year before I even try.

I used Seachem Reef Buffer.

I am going to do a 20% water change on Thursday.
Then get my water tested on Friday.

Just wanting some coral recommendations.

I am a bit worried about the Xenia and GSP over taking my tank because of how I did my rock structure.
