Local reefers, forsale threads here, and meets in your area are all good options. Check them out, do your due diligence.

I understand where you're coming from, but I think you're being a bit harsh. I'm just trying to learn and get the best for my fish. I didn't mean to mislead anyone, I'm just not that great with numbers.

To be honest, the nitrite level of 0.3mg/L does seem like a problem, I can see that now. It's ...

If your nitrites and ammonia levels are zero, then your water parameters are fine. However, I'd advise you to double-check for any fluctuations in these levels before adding more fish. Rushing into things can be disastrous, and I'd hate to see you end up with a tank full of dead fish. The thing with ...

Before adding more livestock, I'd get the nitrites and nitrates sorted out, aim for as low as possible, ideally zero nitrites, any reading is bad.

unfortunately, even though you're really into clowns and damsels, it doesn't mean they'll get along. mixing different clown species is a bad idea, they'll fight and kill each other. and as for damsels, they're super aggressive towards other fish. what everyone's trying to say is that you shouldn't ...
