don't be :( just relax and enjoy. it took eons for the reefs to exist as they are today, let your tank have a couple months and enjoy the process.

You can't keep adding livestock when the tank hasn't established the cycle yet. Ammonia should be undetectable for a week straight before adding anything. Damsels just get meaner with time; I'd give him back to the LFS.

 

You are right the damsel is mean. Again was attacking so tomorrow im gonna exchange it...

So the damsel went back, i got an api ammonia test. Ammonia is 0 nitrite 0 and nitrate 5. So everything back to normal. So i guess is time to sit back an relax. Now im planning to upgrade my led with a DIY led.
