Your tank is looking really nice, but how old is it? You have only had it set up for about a month now right. Please be careful. Stocking too quickly can turn into real problems. Keep a very close eye on your levels.

the tank is like 5-6 wks old, so yes it is still young. We are still testing the water at least once a week and our levels are doing very well. Our salinity today was a bit low (could be caused by just adding RO water to fill it recently) 1.024, our PH was 8.3, Nitrate & Nitrite were 0 as were ammonia.
Thanks for giving me a heads up

stocking a new tank to fast can cause a crash. usually its one fish every few weeks unless its a pair. You need to let your tank catch up on bacteria for each new fish. Just keep a close eye on it. Plus you have a lot of fish in there.

thank you for the heads up, i had a feeling we were catching up with our limit on that tank in terms of fish.. which is actually a good thing, if everything makes it we can just move forward with soft corals once the tank has a chance to settle with our current bioload.

Exotic's great, the owner is fantastic. Got my H. Reidis from him, and my McCoscker's. Although I caught him selling a moon snail the other day...
Maybe he didn't know it was in there. Never heard of Strictly Fish -- is that the newer place? I need to branch out!
