The low Salinity (31ppt) might be a problem. It should be at or above 35ppt for marine inverts.

Ok thx...Can or should i get a damsel fish?

 

[dskidmore]

Most people have problems with them later. I'd avoid it. They tend to be aggressive with anything you put in later.

I just wanna get one to learn the hobby better.After i decide that I think i know what to do I will giv it back to the pet store.

Do you like Clownfish?
They are one of the least aggressive Damsels (Chromis are less aggresive). A good starter fish IMO.
Aquacultured though

I love clown fish.I planed on getting 2 of them when i learn how to take care of the damsel fish.,And get rid of he damsel.

Just start with a healthy pair of Aquacultured Clownfish.

I agree with the choice of Aquacultures Clownfish. They are hardy and will normally make a great addition to the tank that you will not want to get rid of.

Just a note. Start feed the tank a little bit of fish food. Excatly what you'd feed your Clownfish. Slowly increase how much you feed until in about 2 weeks you are feeding the amount you would give two Clownfish.
This will prepare your bacteria for the increased bio-load so that there's no ammonia spike when you add the clownfish.
Once your tank matures more you can cut the added feeding time down to a week.
