[JamesWeaver]

It’s my first tank 55gal. Tank has been up 1 month. I was instructed by LFS and other hobbyist to not change water during my cycle so I haven’t. I currently have 2 baby clownfish and 40lbs live rock. Would it be okay if I were to add 1 or 2 more fish to my tank.

Parameters:

Nitrate 5ppm.

Ammonia 0

Nitrite 0 ppm

Ph 8.2

If you have zero ammoina your cycle has started and you are done.

Yea you are probably ok to add fish if they are small. Or wait between adding (good for acclimating to watch other and fending off aggression).



I’ll add, you might want to look into an acclimation box (I use a critter keeper ).

I will wait minimum 2 weeks between adding at least that’s what I have been told.
