So I am starting a 20g reef tank as soon as my cycle finishes. I am planning on the following stocking:
- 1 ocellaris clownfish
- 1 cardinalfish or royal gramma
- 1 small blenny or goby maybe paired with a shrimp
- 1 small wrasse if i can find one (pink-streaked or possum, or perhaps even a small fairy wrasse?)
My cuc will likely be stocked with some snails, hermits, a cleaner shrimp, and maybe a small brittle star.
I am looking to start the tank with easy soft corals since this is my first reef tank ever.
I am wondering when it would be appropriate to add my first fish or corals. I plan to start adding in cuc once diatoms show up. Are there any specific parameters outside of 0 nitrites, 0 ammonia, PH of around 8, and nitrates under 20ppm? And which should I add first?
