Hi all,

I am going to have the tank (150 gallon) wet next week and hope to have my 2 clowns and a foxface added a few weeks after that (using Turbo Start). Dr. Reef is running a sale with a lower free shipping threshold and I'd like to take advantage. If I got a shipment with 2 cardinals, a yellow watchman goby, and a flame hawkfish in about 8 weeks, would that stress the tank? I'm also hoping to do 2 wrasses and a swallow angel in 12 weeks (but could reduce that to the 2 wrasses if necessary).
 
A month between additions isn’t bad but no one has a crystal ball to tell you if you will have Dino/cyano/algae, whatever flavor of problem that can put a wrench into plans. New dry rock has a way of playing games.
 
I would not trust turbo start honestly for right away editions. I would dose that as directed but test water every week for parameters. They swing like nuts when establishing the nitrogen cycle needed for a healthy tank. Just my two cents, especially with adding the fish you want to add in the timeline
