My tank has been up for a little over a month. I have 60ibs of live rock, 50 ibs of live sand. I have tested my tank for the following. Ammonia, nitrate, nitirite, Ph, phosphate, alk, and calcium. All of which are in there safe range.
I have no more than 15 small hermits, 10 snails, two peppermit shrimp and one very small false percula. 4x39w t5 lighting.
However anytime I go to my LPS to add anything, they tell me I should wait. I understand patience is the key in this hobby but geez can't I do anything?
I aske for an anemone for my clown and they adviced not yet. corals, not yet. I wanted a scooter blenny and a few turbo snails they say dont have enough to eat yet and I should wait on those too.
I dont understand. If all my water parimeters are safe why do I still have to wait?
