Is it already cycled ?

(given its cycled) I would stock something like a bristletooth tang, some dartfish and gobies, a wrasse, butterfly fish, and once established a pair of red mandarins

Fox face lo, clowns, lemon peel tang, hawkfish, and mandarin.

A pair of designer clowns hosting a xxlrg carpet anemone as a centerpiece would look amazing

Wow! Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. The tank has been up only about a week. How long should I wait to place fish in it?

Between 4-6 weeks. Just want ur ammonia and nitrites at 0ppm... What did you use to start ur cycle?

 

[Aquadogg]

Oh ok. Some live rock and sand.

Was there any particular items to add to hep with this cycling process? In addition to my PS, sump etc I have a Aqua Clear 110. But I was told I don't need it. Is that true?

 

[Mrc8858]

You need an ammonia source to feed the cycle
