I'd still keep an eye on your ammonia levels. The fact that you have nitrates of 15ppm pretty much means you cycled (assuming you're putting in 0ppm nitrate fresh water), but I'm just not understanding how you did it.
The way that the LFS owner taught me was:
Week 1 Day 1
-Add in the sand
-Add in water (with water conditioner)
-Mix the salt in the tank to get to the right salt level
-Add in the two filters I have
-Let it run for around 2 week
Week 3 Day 1
-rinse the materials in the filters with the tank water
-add in the LR that were already cured at the store
Week 6 Day 1
-Tested the levels in the tank - 0 Ammonia | 0 Nitrite | 3-5 Nitrate | 8.0-8.2 pH
-Added in the new fishes
....and the issue of the smaller clown not eating started the third day.
I told him, "Hey, you didn't teach me to cycle the tank! What should i do now?!". His response was, "You did already! With the way I told you to do, did you see your water levels?".
At that point I was a bit confused, and I thought he was just bluffing me. To my surprise, he actually brought up the method that melosu58 mentioned above: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/article_view.php?faq=2&fldAuto=15
He also advised me that it is not the best way to do it as it might produce some harmful bacterias.
Other than that, another question I have is - How much more LR should I be adding to the tank, now that my clown's "problem" is solved
