    I personally would wait a few weeks after your cycle is done. Just to make sure its safe.
    Good luck, they are gorgeous.

    Corals dont really need a cycled tank i throw corals in most of my tanks from day one, i dont really see that being a problem at all.


    The problem i see is starting a cycle with a pair of clowns. There is no reason to start a cycle with fish. When the amonia gets high its basically posion to the fish and burns there gills big time. Yes, some fish will make it throu, but its not right to put any animal threw that. id take the fish out asap.Just my .02

    +1. I cycled my big system during my transfer with about half my corals. Even the SPS made it out just fine.

    Yea exactly, everyone is saying that was reckless and wrong to tell him to buy corals but actually theres not a thing wrong with that advice, its actully better to have corals in the tank this way people dont go buy fish and make them suffer :) thanks pack attack! lol

    No need to wait, keep them in, like stated above theres nothing wrong with having those corals in the tank at all.

    Not a risk taker at all. Over 7 years in the hobby, i know what can and cant be done and i always do things with out ANY risks IMEO..


    And do you have something against me? You say thanks pack, and good to know a rep persons says its okay, when in the thread i did say it first and i was correct, idk why you need to try to argue with me and im not here to argue just give my advice from my experiences and so far i have mostly been right but i can admit to being wrong, You learn something new EVERY day in this hobby.

    Like i said im not a risk taker at all.


    Back on topic, id return the clowns or put them in the 20 till the tank cycles as its only fair for them. The corals thou will be fine

    My advice: just do as much research as possible
