I my self start off with a totally dead tank Rocks and sand and water all brand new and sterile I then seed the system with coralline enriched scrapping and a little shot of sand from and existing system that I trust. Then add a single fish and wait for 8 weeks then I turn on just the actinics to spur the coralline growth then at 12 weeks I'll turn them all one and then about 4 months later I'll start the skimmer .. I never have a problem with health or coralline in that I won't add a single coral until I see the coralline . Thats the barometer that tells me my system is healthy and ready for higher corals .
