When To add....well anything

[Russian123]

I've recently got back into having another salt-water aquarium again. It's a tiny little 2.5 gallon, but it's mine. I had a few questions: First, I recently bought premixed saltwater and pre-cured rock. I have had the whole system running for a good 3 days. I was wondering since everything was ready to go for everything and all the levels appear normal. Is it safe to start adding mushrooms and other small corals to the tank yet? Also, I was wondering what invertabrates I could put in the tank as well. I was mostly curious about some ideas about what could be added to it.

Thank you for the answers.

Hey thats interesting Im from Lubbock too lol we are both buying mr aq water for our reefs.

yes your tank is ready to go using the rocks and water they have. every pico reef Ive ever built came from that exact stock so I know it works. 99% of all the corals too since high tech closed down.

Any ideas on what to add to it? I was thinking some mushrooms and some sort of shrimp

I say you go right down the frag rack picking any combination you want and deck it out right off the bat

in 2007 I bought a juvenile gold coral banded shrimp its still alive in my pico
and Ive bought boxer crabs those are always long lived. what light are you getting don't skimp on the light right>

Coralife 50/50 Mini Compact Fluorscent 10 watt light. I'm not really trying to have anything TOO extreme. Maybe some Mushrooms/Zoos/Pulsing Xenia/Kenya tree. It's pretty awesome you're in Lubbock. and yes, i'm going to Mr. Aquarium, it's one of the best fish stores I've seen.
