I take it you are "starting over" after your other fish died...?
1 week into cycle these are your "starting" numbers...
Keep testing and post results for the next 3-4 weeks...
Should see Ammonia and NitrIte level rise and fall...
That would indicate the "activity" of the cycle...
When those two levels are "back" to 0 ppt... you should be "safe" to add more fish...
Didn't you say you had "frost" or "spots" on your fish at one point...??
May need to look into "ICK" treatment for your tank...

the first time test.... i am too rust to start!
so i put a lot of fish inside emmm....(about 6..... 2 purcula clown,one powder blue,one blenny,one dimono damsel.......
after powder blue tang die,i put 3 more fish.....1 tomato clown,1 naso tang and 1 blue fish which long shape!)
but now they all gone

i learn my lesson to keep more careful! finally i found this website then i just know want to keep saltwater fish is not so easy, but i still want to try !
but what to do? they all gone.......
now i start to cycle again and going to take 6 week to start again! i force myself not to buy the fish(cos they r so beautiful)
this time i going to success! right?
is that reach time to put some light?(sun light n moon light?):nope:

im sorry about all of the fish that died, but you were rushing a lot.
you should read about the fish before you buy them. powder blue tangs are very delicate and the need very big tanks.
you should wait for 2 months before you add anything just to be safe.
when you do get more fish, you should only put in one at a time and wait at least 2 weeks before putting in another fish.
you dont need any special light for fish, but if you want any kind of coral or anenome you need a lot of lighting.
what do you have in your tank now?
how big is your tank?
how much do you change the water?
you really need to slow down with the fish. you are going to waste lives, and money.
please let us know if you dont understand something we are saying. we can try to reword things if you need us too.

now im cycling my tank!( 120 litre,23.5 gallon?!)
and i stop to buy anything.......cos i scare to risk any life again!
inside my tank
7 live rock
some pieces of coral( like coral they crush it to pieces)
1 protein skimmer
1 top filter(inside got bio pur ,span )about 2 feet long.
now i observed a lot of the thing like spider web growing at my small LR,and some green thing a bit seround them,i everyday put the conditioner like(ammovec 5ml) and (marinvit twice a month) and some good jerm twice per week!
is that ok??

you dont really need to add any chemicals. its better for you tank if you just let it cycle by itself. its best just to sit and watch your tank for 6+ weeks while it is cycling. then, you can add a fish, and maybe another one after 2 weeks. in a 120 litre tank you cant put that many fish in. maybe 2 or 3 SMALL fish (3-5 cm long). you dont want to have too many fish, they will get stressed and get sick. thats probably why all of the ones you bought died. most saltwater fish are very easy to keep, but they need a lot of room to swim around so you cant have that many in the tank.
let us know how your tank is doing.
good luck!
