    nitrates never get above 20 between water changes and phosphates no problems as well

    Are you new to SW reefs? I heard Leopard Wrasses are medium-expert fishes to keep. Good luck!

    if you are trying to keep this tank reef, I would stay where I am with fish. Corals aren't as forgiving as fish are with nitrates. That's just my opinion tho

    Fight urge to add any more fish...a problem we all have. :p

    Let tank stabilize a year or so with what you have...some are going to grow on you and increase bioload. You want filtration to grow along with them.

    If not too crowded and all getting along after at least a year...let your water params tell you if you can add additional.

    Keep close eye on and increase frequency and amount of waters changes if indicated.


    Good Luck!
