Its not a good idea to buy things the first day they come in because if they are weak or dont eat then they may die, if you wait till the day before a shipment then you know theyve been there atleast a week

i have been looking to buy a nano also. and, with the same ocupants of what you have except the tank would be a 29 gallon with a pair of percs, a diamond Goby, a coral banded shrimp and maybe a dwarf angel if it can handle it. but as for the corals i was thinking the same. 3 feather dusters, 1-2 gorgonians, and maybe a small anemone ( LT-BTA-carpet) nice thing about those corals and inverts is that they dont require intense lighting like MH's or what have you. but you will need a lot of water flow so in a 10 gallon be sure to have at least one poower head. so far your tank sounds great. have fun with it and keep up the research

I wouldn't plan on adding ALL the items you mentioned in the tank at once. Slow and steady wins the tank race.

i just did my morning check up and there is amonia .25 will this end up being a miny cycle and will my clown fish and feather dust survive'
oh ya my mom wanted to suprise me and got me a clown fish.
there goes me getting two or is it still possible.
and is that the reson for the extra amonia
by the way my feather duster opened up fully and is even prettier than at the lfs
and the clown fish looks content every time i walk by the tank hes follows me.
hungry i guess..... but when i try to give him food he spits it out so i tried crumbleing it smaller he ate some then he tries to get more and spit out some
i'm guess in time

( i feed him Wardley essentials tropical fish flakes, same thing i feed to my fresh water angel fish)
another queston i got a power head its rated for a 30 gallen and i pointed it at the front glass. will this be enof for the yellow Gorgonian i want
please help thanks
you guess have helped me so much

You can add another clown of same species, i would do it soon while the one you have now is still acclaimating. But first you need to get rid of that ammonia, do a good water change. I don't think it was the new fish, you just put it in, so its to soon for his waste to cause a spike.
Put as much flow on you gorgonian as you can, the more the better.
