Which coral when?

[JCnflies]

I'm sorry if I placed this in the wrong forum, but I have had a reef for about two weeks (75 gal). At one point can I look to add corals and which ones would you select first?

One of the big reasons I ask is that my sand is blowing around the tank and settling on my LR. If I can put some hammer coral or other kind of coral on the bottom where the current is lifting the sand, I think that might make me, the coral nd the LR very happy Thx.

Btw, I have the Borneman book, but I don't really remember reading a section on what order to add corals in and how old your tank should be before adding such and such (other than acroporas taking a year.)

Hello JC, outside of some Marine Plants, It's not an advantage to subject your corals to sandy water flow. Especially LPS, it will destroy the flesh in record Time.
Let your tank cycle to a point where you are confident that the water parameters are within tolerances and don't forget to research before you make that first purchase.
Proper lighting and water movement should be Paramount in your selections of corals and other inhabitants. Reef On! TinMan
