FISH, ready or not?

Ok, 90g tank setup for about 5-6 weeks now. Tank went through the raw shrimp and vodka cycle. I used to work for a freshwater fish store (its been a long time) and this is not my first saltwater tank.

Parameters as of today
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
ph 8.2
phosphate 0
alk 7
calcium 340
salinity 1.023-1.024

and the one im worried about
nitrate 15-20

The nitrates are not as low as i would like the LFS guy on Saturday said wait til this saturday before adding anything.

I was thinking of adding a pair of clowns to see how it goes, what do you guys think.

 

Do a water change then add fish. Your cycle is done.

 

how much, i was thinking 15-20 gallons

 

10 should be good. You really don't need to lower your nitrates much, at least immediately. Mostly, big water changes right after the cycle are for people who end up with 50+ nitrates.

 

great, thanks for the info guys
