Ph isn't as big of an issue as you may think.

Good idea. A good book is also helpful

Np. Fish stores unfortunately are not reliable for good advice alot of the time. If u do keep the fish i agree with imforbis. Do a water change to knock it down

Bad bad bad. Live rock is more important to sw then a filter. No iam not joking. Live rock is the base that all that bacteria lives on, that breaks down ammonia and helps your nitrogen cycle. Personal suggestions. 1 get a new store to buy from. 2 return/ rehome the damsels. 3 get live rock...

Welcome to the hobby. Now to your questions. Way way way too many fish to start. Cycling with fish is a horrible idea. Your ammonia isn't dropping bc its still more then your bacteria can handle. Do you have live rock? If so how much?

When fish are listed difficult its generally for 1 of 2 reasons. Diet or ability to convert to aquarium life. Diet being the most common. The red draggonet is diet related. The leapord wrasse seems to be a combination of both. If you want me to pick one the wrasse is probably the easier to keep...

I am not a coral guy. I saw your post was hoping someone else would chime in. I think you would be fine tho

Good point

Hmm i tried baiting this one out with half a clam , but no go

That would be nice lol. I am betting its a smaller one tho

Ah gotcha

Hmm not off hand. Tangs are in general the "boss" fish. Mix them in a smaller tank and its a recipe for trouble. Now i will have 4 tangs together when my tank is finished with the cycle. Currently 2 in my 75 and 2 in my 56 qt. I wouldn't dare try adding another in either tank. Its there tank...

How big do they get quills? This is a first for me. Ive had astria stars, mantis shrimp, crab. Never a brittle star tho. I've almost bought them tho lol

More then likely yes. Puffers love shrimp

White tail is fine. Although u don't seem to have much alage for it

No purple or naso in a 75. Bristle or kole would be fine. Also any wrasse

Ok folks. I have what i believe to be a star fish. All i see is 4 arms coming from diff areas of the rock. Light grey base with black stripes. Appears to be bristle like. Light sensitive bc when i shine my flash light at it, it retracts its arms. Thoughts?

An aggressive tank. Lions, eel, grouper , ect doesn't mean corals would be an issue. Any inverts would be tho. I like your fish choices but they will really limit your inverts and future fish selection

Cycle the new tank first. Your welcome

As a qt for 2-4 weeks np. I still wouldn't try it with both at the same time tho. My qt is a 56 gal and my sail fin in there looks cramped.
