How long should i wait to add fish or coral or inverts??

[Son Of Skyline]

Hey Namscam. I think the point that people are trying to get across is not to quit altogether, but to take a step back while you're still only a couple of steps in. A new tank without livestock is much easier to control than a new tank full of animals. Removing your animals may just make it easier for you and avoid frustration in the future.

I was one who was guilty of adding too much too soon, and I have to say it cost me more animals than I'm comfortable with. It also caused big headaches with water quality and algae problems. Stuff that can easily frustrate someone into quiting altogether.

Doing your own research is very important in this hobby as well. Most experienced reefers have answered the same basic questions a hundred times, mostly on the net. This means that this info is there if you do a quick search. Often times you'll find that you can get answers faster if you look them up, rather than posting a question which may have been answered several times already.
