Hi, fish like me-

so it sounds as though your tank has finished cycling, now you want to know what you can add.

I would recommend deciding first exactly what fish you want to keep and then add them a couple at a time, least aggressive and most hardy first. Allow a few weeks between new additions to allow the biological filter to catch up with the new load.

Same goes for corals; add them a couple at a time, most hardy first. Some good choices to start off with in a newly cycled tank would include most of the photosynthetic soft corals, zoanthids, and corralimorphs.

I am assuming you have live rock, a decent protein skimmer and enough light to keep corals.

Good luck

Stay away from any kind of corals until you read that book you got cover to cover and actually understand what you're reading.

As for fish, I'd suggest you stick to damselfish and clownfish until you know what you're doing. I school of green chromis would be nice and maybe a few clowns once all your nitrites comes down to zero.
