So, I have been waiting 6 weeks, and the water is finally perfect! Ammonia 0, nitrites 0, and nitrates somewhere between 10 and 20. I'm so stoked! Ph is a little on the high side at 8.2 but does not fluctuate. I have 2 guppies and 2 EG cories. Thinking about stocking 4 more cories same type, and 2-3 fancy guppies. I have an aqua clear 70 for a filter. Is that amount of fish ok for my 30 gallon? Can I get them all at once? :fish2:
 
I'm not an expert but I also have a 30 gallon tank.

I have stocked 3 Buenos Aries tetras, 3 Colombian tetras, 1 gourami ,2 glo fish ,2 electric green tetras and a bamboo shrimp.
I do run a small UVS but I'm gonna add more stock soon.
I think you're ok to add stock all at once but if it was me I would add one species at a time.
 
You are absolutely fine adding more cories, it is actually a good idea since they are schooling. And you can add many more fish than two guppies.
 
Think I will be adding 4 more emerald green cories, 2 more guppies, and 2 mickey mouse platies :) thanks for the advice!
