Will do, I was considering adding a yellow watchman and then be done on fish. Maybe add a peppermint shrimp and a few more snails/crabsYou can add coral as quickly as your wallet allows.
2 clownfish in a 13g tank may not tolerate another fish, be careful.
How much bottle bacteria? I fully cycled tank before adding fish. New fish been in tank a weekIMO you can add corals as much as you want as long as your testing Alk consumption. Adding fish generally recommended 2-4 weeks to allow cycle to catch up. Adding bottle bacteria can allow sooner.
Bottled bac is snake oil.How much bottle bacteria? I fully cycled tank before adding fish. New fish been in tank a week
I try to space every 10-14 days to assure that last fish are doing well and free parasites and also to lower the bacteria population which will increase with the new bio loadI have a 13.5 Fluval and added 2 coral and 2 clownfish last weekend. When am I able to add another fish and how often can I add coral
Confused lolBottled bac is snake oil.
Perfect, thank youI try to space every 10-14 days to assure that last fish are doing well and free parasites and also to lower the bacteria population which will increase with the new bio load
It is so low on the diversity spectrum that it does not help. It won't hurt anything but your wallet.Confused lol
I use aquavitro seed or seachem stability. I add what they recommend on the bottle.How much bottle bacteria? I fully cycled tank before adding fish. New fish been in tank a week
I’ll check water levels tomorrow to see where they’re at after a week of fish in tank. I have the black and white clownfish. I really only want one more fish (yellow watchman) and then a peppermint shrimp. The guy at LFS said I could also add a scallop if I wantI use aquavitro seed or seachem stability.

Fully cycled is kind of a misnomer as when you add a larger load, the bacteria needs to multiply to consume the larger ammonia load. Also adding vac doesn’t mean you can just add as many as you want at a time. Allow at least a week before more.
As someone said, what clowns do you have as their adult size will determine what else you can have.
Scallops are difficult to keep. I would suggest a pistol shrimp to pair with your YWG. 2 clowns will likely outgrow your tank at some point.I’ll check water levels tomorrow to see where they’re at after a week of fish in tank.

I know the guy well. I was going to buy it but he told me to wait a while as they’re difficult. He led me in the direction of some easy beginner friendly corals and then recommended the 2 clownfish with 3 snails and 3 crabs to startSorry to quote this again... LFS is trying to sell you stuff.

To your original post, once the tank of cycled you can add as much coral as you can afford and keep up with, it’s a new tank so frags won’t consume more then your weekly water changes will fix so you should be good there for a while, I would start checking your Alk and cal weekly in about 3 months you could start sooner (Iv always enjoyed water testing)ANYWAY… small tank like that would keep from adding any more fish however something like a watchman or some sort of lower water level fish should be okay (usually shoot for like 2weeks between adding fish) CUC is fun in these tanks, you could add some red macro to the tank… hmm have fun man that’s what is all aboutI have a 13.5 Fluval and added 2 coral and 2 clownfish last weekend.

I don’t know much about CUC.
