WHOA! Slow down there tiger!!! Take it easy. Have patience. Do not add five damsels to a newly cycled tank!!! Your tank does not run on speed, unlike some of us. Patience is the key. Be gentle, be nice and add your fish one at a time.

Wow, I think that rhymed. A little. :smokin:

how long have u had the tank? even though it's not a stress level you shouldn't hve any nitrates. anenomes do not tolerate nitrates very well. even though most fish can. however clowns don't like high nitrates either. do a 25 percent water change and hope for the best. you should prolly turn the lights off too...

what kind of lighting do you have also?

might be best to return all the livestock you bought and try over slowly

You said you did some research before, you should really do some more. And do the Anemone a favor and return it to the store that you bought it from. Maybee they will give you store credit or maybee even a full refund.
