nitrates 20ish (hard to read this API testkit)

filled tank monday, added fritz turbo 900 tuesday. been ghost feeding since tuesday. today is friday.

okay at 20? i added 2 clownfish today, just want to make sure 20 isnt too high for them.
 
Your Nitrates will not hurt the clowns, but are you sure the tank cycled? I would monitor ammonia daily and feed lightly for the next week.
