How long till I can put corals in my tank?
Corals can be added to a new reef tank when your tank has completed its nitrogen cycle that roughly takes 2-8 weeks. Nitrogen cycling and getting rid of algae blooms will clear the way for you to add corals as early as possible. Monitor your water parameters and only add corals once these are stable enough.
Do corals need a cycled tank?
It is not necessary to cycle your reef tank before adding corals. Corals have a low bioload and do not produce a lot of ammonia. However, it is better to cycle your tank first because the water parameters will be more stable. Stable water conditions are essential to grow corals.

Can I keep a blue tang in a 75 gallon tank?
Active Member I agree about the Blue tang getting to big for the 75 gallon tank. Only keep it in the 75 gallon till it reaches 4-5 inches and then you’ll need a bigger tank. How long that will take depends on how much you feed and stocking levels. A 6 foot long at least will be needed, preferably a 180 gallon tank.
