hi i got my first marine tank 3 days ago from my lfs (which i work at)
i bought a 98 liter river reef aquarium cube i also got live sand from our display tank 4 barrels of water from the display tank which is tested every day and 2 other for incase of an emergency. i also bought 25kg of live rock which has been cured for 4 months around the back of the shop for me. i have no other filter as the live rock does it for me i have 2 t5 bulb on it as well as a uv and mini v2 skimmer for nano tanks my question is i have tested the water each day and it all seems fine? does this mean i can add a pair of clowns yet?
my collegues say yes as it is all mature items apart from the tank itself i just wnated second opinion much appreciated :)
btw it also has 4 kg of live rock down the back insted of the filter pads it came with
 
id add some more mechanical filtration, like a poly filter to catch the big stuff. id probabily use a damsel or two as guinea pigs and start the cycling of the tank. after the cycling is done pull the damsels out and put the clowns in. Maybe a few snails and hermit crabs also.
