i will definitely get some pictures up soon, but i have a 40 breeder with only fish right now. started on a budget so not all of my rock is live rock but i do have about 20 pounds of it to seed my dry rock. i started with a blue neon and a fiji blue devil to help cycle, but had to give the blue neon back. mean little guy. now i have a pair of clownfish with the fiji blue, a coral beauty, and a royal gramma all in my tank for about a week now with 2 peppermint shrimp an emerald crab and a couple snails.

Welcome. Also have you been testing your water to see if you finished cycling? Two weeks is very early to have that many fish in a 40g. I hope you're not using the fish to cycle your tank.

Hi there and welcome

[RicoReef]

I have, I bought a saltwater test kit I bought at a LFS. it cycled fairly quickly especially since I used NSW from the LFS, live rock and live sand. Amonia, Nitrite, and nitrate are all 0. my PH is a little on the low end, but still within range, and the Salinity is 1.026.
