Fish look great.We have added our first two fish to our new tank. We would like to introduce Dozer and Harley
Tank looks awfully new. How long and how did you cycle the tank?

About a week, I’m new at this so I’m sure I’m making some mistakes. Any help would be appreciated.

That rock looks to have been around for a little while. Did you get it from an lfs ( local fish store) wet or dry?
@vetteguy53081 is worried about ammonia spiking and hurting your fish.

Especially if wild caught, focus on water quality. It sounds like tank was not cycled and a risk one takes. I understand new reefer and new tank but things can go wrong with water quality. feed moderately first 4 weeks and monitor ammonia with a reliable test kit

I got it from a local store, wet. He had to photo bomb. They are so funny. They follow me wherever I go. Does the rock look healthy to you?

It doesnt look unhealthy. Just wondering for biological reasons. If its been in a running system for a while it should have all the necessary bacteria to properly cycle the ammonia in the tank.I got it from a local store, wet. He had to photo bomb.
