Patience

We all know what it is like to set up a new tank and get very excited about what we may put in there. Patience is extremely important in the SW hobby. Please do things slowly. It takes time to cycle a tank. When it is cycled, be sure to stock the tank slowly. You must allow time between purchases for your biological filtration to cope with the increased bio load. If you take your time with this hobby you, and your stock, will benefit.

Yep, I spelled something wrong and look like a fool. Again, my apologies

The information still holds true, if you can look past the title.

what's a good frame of time to wait in between adding fish? i usually wait a month after adding a fish before i'll add another one. i don't do that for corals though. should there be time in between adding corals? specifically, i would want to know about mushrooms, gsp and lps as that's mainly what we love.

No, they do not add a bio-load to the system.

2 weeks ago, we got a galaxea, a week ago we got a frogspawn and more star polyps and today we are getting another lps from a fellow reefer. we got so excited with the bta gone and so much room for more corals - finding good deals and great corals, we can't resist!

how is that possible? does coral not expel waste? does that apply for an anemone?

No it is not true for an anemone, and the waste that corals expel is done so through their symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) as carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide will pull down a ph, but it is easily replace w/ oxygen by properly circulating.
Anemones poop huge chunks, lol
