Am i ready for corals in my new tank? Her are my parameters

[sarahbobeara]

Ammonia 0
phosphate 0.25
pH 7.9
calcium 350
nitrate 0.1? This one I had a hard time telling
KH - 179 ppm KH
I set up my tank recently with live sand and wet live rock straight from the ocean.
Its only a 12gal but super full of rocks.

Have you done any research on coral care? Which corals do you want? What about lighting and flow? How are you measuring salinity and how will you top off?

Corals are delicate sensitive animals that need a stable environment, they do better in a mature system vs a brand new system. Going forward, API tests are not accurate enough for corals. Alkalinity is the most important parameter of all but you haven't measured it.

Generally speaking, your question gives the impression you've not done much research. Sorry for being straightforward, please don't take it for rudeness. But research is really the key to keeping corals successfully.
