    ....and when I say add chromis I would wait 2-3 weeks before adding them. If they do well then give it 2-3 weeks before adding an additional tank mate.. Good Luck!

    I will suggest that when you post and are asking for help or for ideas, please include all basic information. Basic information should include; all water parameters(Calcium,Magnes ium,Alkalinity,Ph and Nitrate and Phosphate levels) along with Temp. of your tank and Sg (specific gravity).Size of tank and complete set up meaning, filter type (sump, canister etc.), if you use a skimmer,lighting (what type and total output)plus what type of lighting are you using and what is your lighting schedule (how long a period are your actinic and daylights on) and if you have fish only with live rock and if you keep corals. Also how long the tank has been up. I know some of this is in your bio but many bios don't contain this info. How many times has someone posted and then there is this list of postings addressing the above. If you give the most info you can to give us a good profile, it will cut down on response time and mis-diagnosis or answers that don't fit and we will all benefit.

    Thanks I'll take all that on board and struggle on. Deep down I knew I was putting in fish too quick. I think thats been the problem. Wn't be putting anything in for a few weeks and we'll see how it goes.

    One of the biggest things with marine aquariums is go sloooow. The slower the better.
