    you've only had your 1st cycle.your tank will continue to cycle over and over again for about a year,each cycle becoming smaller.every time you add a fish or certain corals 2,you will have another small cycle.unless you add a big fish or a bunch of small ones,then you will have another big cycle.you can have dead fish and coral during any of the cycles.judging by how fast your going with the stocking of the tank,you may have another big cycle on the way.if you want sps corals,again you will need to wait for the tank to mature,about a year or untill you have coraline patches on your glass about 1 inch around.pushing the process to fast will result in death of corals and fish.i'm glad your taking the effort to read in forums,most wait until they have hundreds of dollars in dead stuff before they bother researching.also all angels need speciallized diets and care that are most likely more difficult than the tang you originally asked about.this early in the game i will bet on either fish dying.if your next question is not,how do i get rid of this algae bloom?,then your tank is not ready for anything.the lights themselves take 2 weeks to break in.do you have a skimmer?you will need a good one if you put a bunch of large or high maintenance fish in.

    I don't think that you have to wait a year to add sps corals but I would definitely take it slow and not overload your tank. Also, corals add little or nothing to a tank's bioload so they will not cause any kind of cycle, mini or otherwise.

    Right now, I would not add anything. At 3 weeks, you already have too many fish for a new tank to support and angels are very sensitive to water quality so let the tank run as it is for at least another month and a half before adding any more fish.

    Sorry Md_reefer I just can't understand why you ask questions when you have no intension of listening to the answer, both here and on Canreef
    Canreef thread

    a 3 week old tank is just not ready for the amount of fish you have put in and are going to add. Please listen to some of the answers to the questions you've asked and you will have a far more successful tank.

    Please do not take this as a personal attack as that is not the intension. I just don't see any other way to convince you to slow down and research more

    Please give us a break mk_reefer (mk101)...at 3Reef we encourage and love fruitful and serious discussion from anyone on the subject we all enjoy much...but it is a drag for all of to hear te same question answered over and over again...

    I think the responders on the other forum were right, you are "punk'en" us.

    :(
