    Lets see 1 royal gramma, 2 ocillersi clowns and 5 chromis... I say add coral ;D You don't need more fish. Of course if you don't wanna do coral you could add a blenny. Like a scooter blenny or bicolor blenny. Those are nice and usually don't bother anyone.

    The karma is just a forum thing. You can give people karma, it doesn't really count for anything.

    Md Reefer. As was suggested in this thread, I don't believe you should be adding any more fish yet:

    Your tank is still very new and is also having ph problems so adding fish now will only cause you more problems. I'm also leery of you adding an anemone to such a young tank. You really need to slow down :(

    one piece of advice that all newbies should heed...go slow and don't over populate your tank. The more fish you have the more poop, you will encounter high nitrates and a slew of other problems. Anenome's require excellent water conditions and an established tank therefore not to be attempted with a tank under 8months. I have had my tank for a year now and I can say that it didn't start to flourish and become stable until about 8 months. I started a little too fast in the very beginning and encountered minor problems, I slowed it down big time, read alot, learned alot and now I believe I can say I have a successful reef. You will never be problem or stress free, there is always work to be done and much care with reefs. Amcarrig is correct and very experienced, she and others are giving you good advice, we have either been in similar situations or know someone(or alot) of people who have. Good luck, ask questions...and update your signature so we can help you better.
