When creating a reef aquarium, in what order should the live rock, fish and coral be added?
After the aquarium has been successfully equipped with the filtration system and other important equipment, the next step that the owner needs to take is to add the live rock. This rock will prove to be the foundation for the rest of the reef equipment. After the live rock has been put in place, the next step is to add the coral. However, this should not be done until the live rock is completely cured. This can take four to six weeks. After the parameters of the fish tank have stabilized, it is fine to start adding fish. The specifications of the tank should continue to be closely monitored to ensure the safety of the fish.
