Don't flame me for this. But you are definitely moving way too fast by adding fish and corals before your water has finished its cycle. I know it is very hard to wait and you want your tank to have life to it. But you are doing the fish and every other inhabitant an injustice by adding them too early. What are your water parameters? Most likely your tank has not finished its cycle.

How dose a tank take over two months to cycle? My tank is almost 3 months old and I have a full stock list and a bunch of SPS and I have NEVER had a fish die or had a spike so I dont see where your coming from

Ok first off, if you don't want peoples advice then why ask for it? Matt, 2nd, I see you have a Mandarin in your tank that has been up for e 3 months???? I really hope you plan on feeding it 200+ pods per week, ($20) or it will die. Do some research on here. And 3 months is not a long enough time for you to say that nothing will happen. That is still a new tank and your tank can still go through changes. I just offered my advice and if you choose to take it thats fine. I guarantee you I'm not the only one on here that has this same opinion.
