I have heard alot about Tongs but since I am not from california that is the extent of knowledge ......there are lots of places on line to look into such as www.liveaquaria.com
www.ultimatefrags.com
www.fishsupply.com
I have ordered from all 3 and they top 2 on the list I would recommend highly the last one on the list use caution with.....
As for frags you can start adding at any time now but do so slowly maybe 1-2 frags per week if you cordinate it with water change day its not so bad you drip acclimate them place into the tank and add fresh salt water volia water change and a frag ........the other thing to keep in mind is that when you add you will want to test to make sure your perameters stay with in acceptable ranges ....Happy stocking ..... :mrgreen:

Once you are ready to get corals (ie. you are sure your tank is stable) Tongs in Huntington Beach is a GREAT place to get them. I see that you are in Corona which would be somewhat of a drive, but it may be worth it if you where in the area. It is off the 405 freeway at Magnolia...

Go on a Saturday and I dont think you will be disappointed. They offer frags from $5 to $25...all shapes and sizes.

Add things one at a time. Sometimes a fish can add a lot of ammonia for 2 reasons - More uneaten food and more waste. If your tank handles the addition of the clown and maintains stable levels, then a week later you could start adding some soft corals, mushrooms, etc. Just not too many at a time. Each addition can upset the balance of a new tank, so TRY to be patient! :mrgreen:
