My LFS guy is recommending I start dosing in advance before buying coral. I've got Fiji live rock with nice coralline algae structures and one or two volunteer corals now.
I have a 29 biocube with T5s. The chemistry is perfect, but the salinity is a little low just yet - LFS keeps their fish at 1.018 and I'm trying to get a couple of fish in before moving up to inverts and corals.
I don't want to encourage red and green algae (and I've got plenty of both already). How soon before you add coral do you need to start feeding for it?
Also - I've got Liquid Reef on hand. Is that good, or are others better?
Thanks,
Laura
