How did you cycle your tank?
If you’re reading zero nitrates now is not the time to add anything other than some source of ammonia to start the nitrogen cycle .

ok great so you think it is ok to add fish? And if yes should I add the ones listed up top all at once?5ppm is a good number for Nitrate
Yeah it is the small one from Biota because I couldn’t afford to pay the price of the ones captured from the sea which yesterday I saw was $550I think you will be fine as long as the yellow tang is not a large one. If its like one from Biota 2" or so you will have no problem
6 line can go in but not the best first fish due to territorial tendencies and both lawnmower and tang Not good first fish until tank has seeded and stabilized with potential for spikes and chemistry changesWhen should I add a yellow tang, lawnmower blenny, six line wrasse to my tank it is already cycled because last week it read 0 on all my ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite.
