Hey hey!

So I'm 2 weeks into my cycle. Things are looking good, 0 ammonia 0.5 nitrite and nitrates are high. The cycle is getting their.

I have reserved 2 clows already, as a fresh shipment came in at the LFS, and i have them put aside. A bullethole and a davinci both super nice.

My question is how many more fish (if any) should I eventaully put in my tank? Not right away obviously but down the line.

Currently have 10 hermits as well and 5 snails.

It will be a mixed reef; Lps, sps and soft.

Thank you!

Maybe one more small fish like a blenny or a small goby. Anything else would push it imo. I have one clown and a bicolor blenny in my 10g and that's all I am willing to do

My rockwork is also restrictive so it may depend on what your goals are on what you can fit

2 is a good size bioload for a 10 gallon and 3 would be a very heavy bioload for one. Also a 10 gallon IMHO is a bit cramped for clowns long term (even ocellaris). Personally I would just do the clowns and call it good.
