New tank cycle

[Karlisa88]

Yup can try. But go slow. And try to read up and research your first new addition properly.

Resist any temptation to buy fish that are for advanced level hobbyist or that requires a matured tank to thrive e.g Mandarin Fish. Go with common clown, chromis, pistol / shrimp goby if you want. You can spend more time observing those fishes and telling the owner to feed the fish. Make sure they are feeding properly.

Proper acclimation is key as well so get those equipments ready. All ze best!

Doing a 30-70% water change should get that nitrate down. Just make sure the paramaters match.

As for livestock, a pair of clownfish of your liking would be perfect as the starter fish imo. adding more peaceful fish first is always a good choice too

all the best with your new tank!

Tried and tested. Anemone in a new tank just doesnt thrive very well. Might be need to be on top of water quality and slightly matured environment where there's more biodiversity I guess.
