i am very new to the hobby i started a 55 gal salt water tank 8 days ago
i have a empeor 400 boiwheel filter
prizm skimmer
standard lights that came with tank
and a heater
the only knowledge i have is from the fish dealer and a book i got
after i mixed the watter and got it up to temp i added 40lb dry sand and 40lbs live sand three days later after water cleared i got 5 fish 2 clowns 2 damsels and 1 yellow tang
its been a few days now the fish seem to be doing fine i test the water every evening but im only showing a small amount of ammonia and maybe a little nitrite i know it hasent fully cycled yet but even the ammonia is still very low
do you think everything is going ok and any advice would be appreactied
