My tank is finally clear!!

[leighton.bingham]

I finally have a stable and clear tank after a 8-month bout with Dino and a 3-month bout with an algae bloom. It's finally clear!! I have one platinum clown that has made it through everything and that is it in my tank. My question is do i add fish first now or coral?

that's nice :) , got any phosfate and nitrate in your tank ?
If so then you can start with coral and fish.
if you don't then i would start with fish first and when you can mesure the nitr/phos then add coral as well

I do have both N03 and PO3 in the tank at a stable level for a week to about a week and a half. So you're right maybe just a few fish to start with.

Then you could ad some coral as well to keep those two low.

Haha Thank you. I'm no expert thats for sure. what is wrong with your tank? The dinos was the worst!

One of the main reasons for getting dinofl is no no3 and po4.
Better a bit to high of those two then zero

Dinos

I wish I could help with this cause I know it's a battle for sure. I can tell you that I did everything that was suggested in here and online from blackouts, raising Phosphates and Nitrates, removing and scrubbing rocks, I even tried overdosing Dino X nothing worked. I put some micro bacter 7 in there also while I did blackouts and while I did Dino X. Finally I gave up and just left it for about 6 months. It eventually took care of itself. Then an algae bloom came and I put in a green killing machine then everything became clear.
