Hey everyone I’m Madangelo
First time in a forum and owning a saltwater fish tank.
My tank is located in my den of my condo and placed in a fire place mantle.
Tank size 20 gallons and set up as of June 13th, 2020. Now I’ve just done the water cycling testing and I’m shy of zeros all around . But confused on what to do next? Corals or anemone? Slugs? feed back appreciated.

Welcome to R2R!! I love the placement!!! I have a small Fluval Evo that’s only maybe 2 months old. I’ll be interested to see what you do with your tank

Welcome. I love the placement of the tank also.

The CuC is a good start. A snail or 2. Maybe a shrimp or crab. Research which fish you would like to get before making a decision. A dwarf lion is not really a fish for this set up. Ask lot of questions as you go

thanks for the head up lol.
I have to do major research on the dwarf lion fish. As for the corals or anemones, what other fish is civil with him/her. Temperature best suited and salt intake etc.
Could be another 4/6 months before the baby comes.
