    Any suggestions on what I can do to help keep my tank in order and anything I can add chemical wise to help keep everything alive? Thanks in advance

    Nano, if you've read a lot about reef keeping, then follow all of that advice. Keep your parameters stable and do regular water changes. Make sure you have adequate flow, lighting, temperature, and salinity. There really aren't chemicals that you need to keep things alive, it's good maintenance and keeping ammonia, nitrites, and nitrate low. Alk also needs to be line. Fish are actually easier to keep IMO than coral. Just don't over stock.

    Looks great.

    Just routine water changes and monitor Ammonia/Nitrites/Nitrates for a few more weeks.


    Try not to over feed.

    Nice fish.

    Thanks and sorry for the double thread post. My phone app double posted. I've been slow to add anything as far as fish as my tank is almost 3 months old and I finally added some. I just didn't want to rush anything and lose something. Thanks again
