So I have a new tank, my first one.
All water params seem to be normal I have some coral frags and cuc.. No fish.. There seems to be like a brown algae on my rock and sand just wondering is this normal for a new tank, corals and cuc in about 2 weeks now

It's a Diatom bloom, completely normal in a new system, and will clear up after a while so long as your source water is clean. Is the system 2 weeks old total or you've had clean up crew and frags 2 weeks from end of cycle?

Sorry, just 2 weeks since adding coral and cuc... My tank is up about 6 or 7 weeks old total I think..would it be okay to get fish with these or should I hold off til it clears up?
 
If everything is stable still then slowly adding fish should be fine. What size tank is this and what fish are you planning? I also recommend you properly quarantine everything you get

It is a fluval evo 13.5 gallon so 52 litres, I wanted to add a pair of common clowns will this be okay for bioload, or what fish would you reccomend.. maybe just 1 fish?
Thanks
