Hi i have had my tank up and runnnig for about 2 weeks with the live rock in the tank for just under one week, i have been sold a clown fish and a shrimp a few days ago to place in my tank, i was told that my water is fine!! (is this to soon) how long should i wait till my next fish goes in? is it true you should not double the volume of fish you place in, when should i put coral in the tank? i really need your help people as i have no idea what im doing im scared that the people at the shop have sold me my first fish to early and he is going to die, my tank size is 125litre which is roughly 32g i have 14-15kilos of live rock in there which is starting to turn purple which i have been told is fine and normal,
How long should i wait till some coral goes in also how much can be put in at once?

First, buy your own test kits (spend that little extra bit of money for a better test kit) just to double check your tank. Did you buy the rock from an established tank (like from someone breaking down their tank thats been up for awhile)? Hold off on the coral until you're testing your own water and everything is checking out balanced. Just remember, there is no success in rushing this hobby, enjoy every moment at a time.
