![]() Looks like it's cycled to me, you could probably start putting something in there. Just be wary that any increase in bioload has a response (a mini-cycle of sorts, the bacterial cultures need to ramp up to accomodate the new load), which is why it's best to go in small incremental steps.

![]() adding 2 clowns would be fine, add small ones you wont have too much BIo load from them, Unless you start feeding 6 times a day.
