Would it be too much adding (fish/coral) for just 7 weeks in 20G tank?

Take it easy, money is still there. If you add too much they might end up down the drain.

K.. I'm just going on advice from others remember so I was told its ok. Plus all my frags have one or two heads so they were like 5bucks. But I'm not planning on adding anymore if I shouldn't. I was just told it would be ok. Not really sure what to think or believe in this hobby everyone has a different opinion it seems

I was told it takes 4-6 weeks to cycle. I have cycles since mid august so if you count cycling time its 3 months, I was going from when it finished the cycle so 7 weeks ago my parameter were stable.

You count when you set it up, so your tank is actually 3 months old.

I think you would get a real kick out of a Pearly Jawfish. They are one of my favourite fish to watch.

Yeah they're kinda cool looking. Man theres a lot of gobies to choose from. Yeah I did a 5 week cycle but it started in an 8 gallon, half way in I moved into a 20 so all the sand rocks and the water was put in then I cycle a further 3 weeks, so 5 total, then added clean up crew, and at 6 weeks seeing they were doing well I began adding a couple cheap frags. It's a slow process I know and I should've waited a couple more weeks before adding coral but they're all fine except my xenia but I'm ok with losing it cause I hear they can become a nuisance. At 9 weeks we got a clown fish and tomorrow marks week 12 so Yaa.. lol

your doing just fine nothing wrong with adding hardy corals(which yours are)once a cycle is complete so long as your cal/mg/alk and light is good enough.keep playing it slow and youll be fine.

wouldnt worry about the xenia if it dies then your one ahead but in all reality alot of people cant grow xenia in the healthiest of tanks while others are over ran with it lol

my wheelers watchman goby and tiger pistol pair are a fun couple to watch and stay smallthe goby is on alert all day by their den and at night they both come out and work on their home together cheers

Thanks its nice to here I'm on the right track. I still need to make a few mods to the tank I.e. protein skimmer. Other then that, as said my next addition will be a while from now.
