Water Parameters Necessary

[Zik]

Hey Guys!

So I got my first pair of clown a week ago, and they seem to be doing well! They're my first livestock in my tank, which has 35lb dry rock & no other fish/coral atm.

I would love to get an anemone for this pair to make a home one day (ocellaris clowns), and just wanted to check in on water parameters necessary to bring an Anem into my tank?

My PH is a constant 7.9-8, amm/nitrites are 0, and nitrates are roughly 20.

I haven't ever dosed/measured calcium/mag, and the gentleman @ the LFS said I need to get all those reef ready before brining a nem into the system.

Love to hear your guys thoughts!

Cheers

Most people say 6 months for a tank to mature 1 year better. If you havent checked mag and calcium your parameters probably arent stable enough. I would suggest duncan corals as a start they are very forgiving and just as likely to host your clownfish.

Thanks for the info!
