tank finally ready again after sandy loss

[liverock]

Finally my tank is ready after a huge loss due to Sandy. Now I just have to decide what coral to place in my tank. Any suggestions or donations will be appreciated. Unfortunately I don't think I am ready to keep SPS corals yet.

you got a while before you are ready for sps. id say 6 months is the safe point as long as all your parameters are in check. how about a new tank shot :happysad:

Wow I've had SPS in my tank in as little as 6 weeks after cycle was complete. But Tony is right in that its better to go slow.

Not thinking at all about SPS. Not sure if I am experienced enough for them yet. Thinking of either all LPS or mixed softies leathers and LPS. Looking for possible ideas. Pics coming soon after I figure out how to use my camera.

i would wait at least a month or 2 before adding lps to the tank..... again make sure all level are in the clear

ammonia - 0
nitrites - 0
nitrates - 5 or below

phosphate - lower then 1.0 (not for sps)
salinity
temp
alk
cal
mag
ph
