My first tank

[projectR]

Im new to the forum and this is my first saltwater tank. I Just started up a 29G Biocube with 25 lbs of live rock. The tank has been cycling for about 10 days and i just added my first fish.... a yellow belly Damselfish. Any suggestions what should my next fish be? I was told i should wait before adding a pair of clowns? thanks for the help?

Welcome to R2R!! Before adding anything else, I would make sure to get test kits and test for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. You will want ammonia and nitrite to be zero. Nitrate needs to be close to zero. As far as the next fish, are you going to be doing a reef tank or just fish? You will need to be careful with your future additions because that damsel is going to get mean. Damsels generally become bullies.

I was planning on doing a reef tank with 3-4 small fish

Also not sure when would be best to start adding some corals?

I would let the tank establish itself a bit more first, and make sure your levels stay consistent. Patience is the biggest key, as everyone will tell you, although most of us didn't actually use it...

take your time with the cycle before adding fish......
