I am taking a trip to my favorite LFS at the end of this week and I would like to pick up some zoa frags to be the first corals in my tank. Basically I need a little education on how to go about this because this will be my first time with them, or any coral for that fact. I have done some reading on acclimation and dips and things to look for on them, such as nudis and their eggs.
Now I don't have any testing kits as of yet for calcium or alk or mag, but do I really need these quite yet seeing as how I am only wanted to add a couple frags? Its a 75g tank and I do a 10g water change once a week. I believe that is enough to sustain everything until I add more corals and need to test and dose accordingly.
What do I need to purchase? I know I will need super glue to attach the frags and gloves to handle them. What do you recommed as a dip? I have read that Lugols solution and Iodine are what is needed. I have also read that FW dips are another popular method. Other then that, do I really need anything else? Like I said I obviously do not know much at all on how to go about this.
Educate me please. Thank you!
