salinity-1.026
calcium-380 ppm
ammonia-0.25 ppm
kh-161.1 ppm
phosphate-0.25
ph-8.2
nitrate-5.0
nitrite-0
2 days ago my ammonia was at .50 ppm and nitrate was at 0 and nitrite was .25. am i on the right track with my cycle?
 
I'm gonna take that out right now Jeremy. I was gonna put 2 clowns once the cycle is done. Idk what kind of cuc im gonna get yet but I was thinking of ordering some online if anyone knows a good site? I'd appreciate it. I always wanted to put some soft corals not quit sure what kind would be best for a newbie so if anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.
Carolina reef I plan on getting a new skimmer asap. I will definetly keep you all posted thank you for the questions and feedback

I was taking the mojano anemone out and I discover these 2. I was thinking nudibranchs but not sure can someone help please?
 
*Welcome to Reef2Reef, aquaman89 !* I would do a little water change and/or add some carbon to your system to lower the ammonia.Also it is very hard to see what is in the last picture.It may be sea button snails or sponges,not a problem.Nudibrachs usually come with coral so dip everything before you add it to your aquarium.
