devil,

3 weeks is indeed a short time to start adding livestock.. and lets not forget the growth potential of the fishes.. recommendation in this scenerio would be to pass it to reefers till your tank can take it.. or give them away..

i guess i am the slow one here.... 4 months into mi tank and i have only 1 clownfish and 2 shrimps, some snails... anyway i believe tts how the hobby is supposed to be, patience and more patience!

[Sinn]

im in my 7th... hahaha...

and a long way to go before my first coral comes in

devil,

I made the same mistake like you when I started my 2ft more than 2 years ago. Took only three weeks and killed all except one clown in my started-up of about 8 fish. I learn it the hard way then...without advice. Now my 4X2X2 took about 1 yr to reach the stable state.

wow. how long do you think it will take for a 2ft tank to stabilise? my ammonia, nitrites and nitrate are 0 after 3 weeks of cycling...

by right should be 3rd week, after u seen the peaks in ammonia,nirite then nitrates then a 10% water change & ready to start stock slowly- with a time gap in-between new introductions to allow the filtration bacteria to compensate for the bioload. A few days to a week is enough.

by left- play it by eye. depends on how well tank has established,amount of LR, how good filtration is,water parameters stable, if old water was used.

the trick is to stock slowly.To play really safe,for a 2ft bioload can start with one small fish to keep 'N' cycle going.
