    Hi Guys - revisiting hobby after 10 year absence - need some general advice on stocking corals in regard frequency and QTY (how many at one purchase and how long between purchases)

    tank set up for 12 months FOLR - want to add corals now

    1st purchase would be GSP - I want to feature these as a back drop (theme) with other corals as features
    - followed by Shrooms, softies, LPS and SPS -
    I intend to add in that order - (work my way up)

    just some general guidance on how many to add and at what frequency would be appreciated

    Corals can be added a couple at a time b/c corals dont produce the bio-load that fish do. I personaly would wait one month inbetween the addition of corals. This will give the corals time to get acclimated to your tank and the positioning/placement too.
