During the 4 months did you tank go through and algae cycle?

Can you post up some tank parameters?

Describe the tank a bit also. Size, amount of rock, skimmer, lighting, flow...

As for SPS, SPS demand good water quality and stability. Some a pickier than others. You need to go slow in this hobby, fast just ends you up with empty pockets and a tank full of white corals.

You can certainly start keeping them after just a few months, if you will ever be able to keep them.
