Hey everybody, my 32g tank is 5 weeks old and has been cycling with 30 pounds of live rock. My ammonia levels have always been below .25ppm and is currently around <.1. Nitrites are 0 and nitrates are just above 0. Anyone think it’s too early to add fish?
Time to add some clowns?

Are you using an API test kit for ammonia?
Personally I do not think it's two early for clown, continue to test for ammonia. Do not over feed and allow the tank some time to adjust before adding more fish.

Just to be sure did you ever add a source of ammonia to the tank? Like fish food, a dead shrimp, or ammonium chloride?
Normally when buying live rock you would feed/ add 2 ppm ammonia to the tank and a good rule of thumb is if it is 0 (or 0.25 in your case because API does that) within 24 hours then your good togo.
