    well.. your tank is not matured yet.. are u using a 2.5ft tank?? 10 days is a very short time.. what did u use to cycle your tank?? wait till the NH3=0 and NO2 is showing signs of decreasing b4 i recommend any adding of live stock and add slowly.. the reason why ppl fail is coz they are too impatient.. and dump lots of live stock at 1 go.. the system cannot take it.. and thus crash... but if u insist of getting corals and placing them inside now, they wun survive... be patient, my friend...

    wat kind of lights are those?? me very concern.. coz with corals, u need at least 9500Kelvins of lighting intensity.. unlike FW where a mere 6500k (achievable with normal FL lights) can do..

    31deg is way too high for corals. ideal temp is 27-28 deg. 29 is the max

    i never used any chemical to help to cycle the tank b4.. but i would recommend that u hold your purchases first.. wait till the tank is matured.
