Re: 2 months up and running
Let your system settle for another month or so before adding any other fish. then just one fish at a time and wait between additions for the bacteria bed to catch up with the bio load. good luck. keep us posted.

Re: 2 months up and running
jhnrb is a smart man that gives good advice. Go light on additions and takeyour time. Bio systems take a long time to mature properly. Some tanks without adequate live rock and/or deep sand beds never obtain a fully mature bio system. They tend to have repetive problems with high nitrate levels, and spikes in ammonia and nitrites after additions of a large number of fish, coral or after accidents like dropping a full container of food in the tank and only being able to remove a small portion of it. A fully mature biologiacl system will take these occurances in stride without any noticeable water parameter changes, except ussually a lowering of dissolved oxygen for a while, and some lowering of pH. Bacteria go through massive amounts of oxygen when given massive amounts of food.

Re: 2 months up and running
That is the kind of vocabulary the second wife had. She was always inventing words that made sense, but that were in no dictionary. She was from Kirkland Ohio, where the river burned.

Re: 2 months up and running
I still don't get it.
I always though "Cravin Mohead" alluded to something dirty...
