If you can keep your salinity straight, calium around 400ppm, your KH and pH up, NH4, NO2, NO3, and PO4 at zero, then go ahead and get lights and start off with a few easy corals. Make sure to read up on reef tanks throughout the whole time, and ask questions here of course . Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients
