Tank stock help

[adam finley]

I have a 32 gallon reef cube that’s been running 7-8 months. My first fish experience ended with my 2 clowns, 1 coral beauty, and 1 dotty back getting velvet which I had no clue of what was going on till it was too late. My tank has been fallow for about 80 days and I’m ready for some fish. Do you think I could add 2 clowns,1 chalk bass, and a blenny and be fine? Could I add them at same time or do 2 and 2. I will probably be ordering online so it would be cheaper to get all at once but want to add them the best way. Thanks

You should be fine to add them all at the same time. You may want to do some ghost feeding of the tank for a week or two if you haven't been doing it already.

Well I haven’t been ghost feeding but I do feed my corals 1 or twice a week does that count? My parameters stay pretty consistent other then my nitrates go up a little here and there but below 20 always.

Yup, that counts. You should be fine.
