So I’ve had my tank running since Wednesday (1/6/21) I’ve used live rock and live sand and I added a bottle of nitrifying bacteria for saltwater. I’ve been checking my parameters, they all look good (1.023 sg, 0 ppm ammonia and nitrite, 10-20 ppm nitrate.) I added hermit crabs last night and they’re all doing fine, some are more active than others but I think that’s to be expected. Can I add fish today? I’m thinking a snowflake eel, a valentini puffer, and then I’m thinking maybe a 6-line wrasse or a gold-headed or diamond watchman’s goby.
