Re: lighting advice

I started adding soft corals about 6 weeks after the cycle.For LPS and SPS,it'd probably be better to wait at least a couple of months.

Re: lighting advice

I waited a month after the cycle for the easy to keep softies,zoanthids and mushrooms.Better to wait another month before adding LPS corals.I wouldn't even attempt any SPS corals with that light.
