One of the biggest mistakes made in our hobby is that people think it is OK to increase their bioload significantly even in an established tank. Even if your tank has been running for five years, it is not a good idea to add six large fish and a couple of new corals at the same time unless your tank is VERY large.
So I hope that I have made myself clearer on this. Whether a tank has been running for one day or two years, you still need to take it easy when adding livestock.
The main key to successful reefkeeping is patience.

Thats a great article to read. Interesting to see the amounts of metals in the water compared to NSW.
Im reading your first comments all wrong. It read like "the tank is fully cycled and ready to go" and missing out the tank adjustments and stuff thats important when going through the next steps of adding livestock, how slow, ect. Alot of new people will read the first comments and think they can fully stock a tank the same day they add the cured LR which is what i tried to explain. Wasn't aimed at you Alfredo.
