    good deal! Add the fish SLOWLY, like 1 per every 2-3 weeks! That stocking is getting near where you can go! just watch the levels after each one! Remember, rushing slatwater tanks just kills stuff and costs money! enjoy the tank!

    pic's soon please!

    make sure to add the royal gramma last. they can be very aggressive to "new" tank mates....

    Pass on the Gramma, he was my first fish and I just got rid of him today. They are a huge pain to get out of your tank, iv spent the last few days trying to get him out.

    +1 Everything else on your list looks good. I would just also like to point out that the Nitrates will go up but not go down. Unless you are using some form of Nitrate export it will only go down through water changes or other form of nitrate removal.(Nitrate absorbing resins,BP'S) Once your ammonia and nitrites have gone down to undetectable levels and you observe the presence of Nitrate you are good to go. I would do a small water change and then add one fish at a time over a period of a few weeks.Good luck!!;)
