I just started my 20 gallon nano aquarium yesterday. I have live rock and live sand, just waiting on the cycle now.
I would like a little info on corals because I will want to do corals later.
Some questions I have.
-What chemicals should I use for corals?
-Should I put any chemicals during cycling?(like purple up)
-Any help on how to cycle a little faster?

seachem stability or MB7 for bacteria to help the cycle, for coral the most important things to keep track of are your PH, Calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. some like to dose trace minerals and iodine and magnesium and potassium all that good stuff but i wouldn't recommend it for a beginner. Water changes will do most of the work for you

I dose with calcium, iodine, magnesium, essential elements, alkalinity buffer, and Zoe vitamin. But I'm keeping both sps and lps so depending on what you plan to keep you may not need that many different supplements.
