^ def gotta watch those water levels,theres way less room for error in smaller tanks so you generally need to keep a better eye on them

Well I kept an eye on the levels and after adding one last piece of live rock, my tank went through a mini-cycle and 3 days after the cycle was all done, I'm down 3 fish - 1 clown and 2 cardinal fish (they all died in 24 hrs of one another).

That leaves me with 1 clown and 1 yellow watchman goby so I think I'll give the tank a month to recover, then add one more fish and call it quits.

Lessons learned.

im sorry to hear about the mini cycle. Thats usually what happens when things get rushed. Adding rock is fine, but just remember to be on the safe side, always cure it seperate from the tank and add after cured. Good luck down the road and keep updates coming.
