Hi Patrick

When you add fish to your system sometimes there is a little spike in water parameters as the new fish is producing more waste than the bacteria can handle. Usually that isn't a problem in a well developed system though. I guess if you're really keen on checking the water parameters I would think a week would suffice to get everything back to normal. It really depends on your system.

Mixing salt. Well I use Kent salt and I don't let it sit at all. I put the salt in the water, swirl it about until it lookes mixed and add it to the tank. No worries. I don't know about that whole waiting days in advance thing. Maybe I'm missing out on something.

Sorry I have no experience with the clown-anenome thing since I have neither. The clownfish I have seen all seem to be really hot for their anemones so I would think it wouldn't take any time at all, providing you had the right type of anemone.

Hope that helps
