    from the info that i was given is that the damsels will most likely not make it through the cycling process 6-8 weeks or if they do i can return them towards other fish. after the cycling process, i then would like to start with 2 banji(?)cardinals, 2 clown fish too much to start?

    the clowns are pretty hardy but the Banggai cardinals are bit fragile to my opinion
    I am considering a pair of those my self, this week coming up be my 3rd week after
    full cycle but my tank has been up and running for almost 2mo and the nitrates are just now
    starting to drop, but really slow. once I had one of those cardinals but my tank was already
    running for about a year or so, then again I didn't know much either. like Matt said...take it slow let it grow
