Am I ready?

[adamizy]

My 20gal tank has been running with 20 lbs of live rock and sand for 6-7 weeks. I had clowns for a week. Am I ready for beginner corals and more fish? My levels are:

Ammonia- 0ppm
Ph- 8.3
Nitrite- 0ppm
Nitrate- 3.0ppm
Phosphate- 0.7

I would wait. Give them a month, plus your stocking options are very limited with that tank.

As far as corals go, what is your lighting.

some softies like ricordeas or zoanthids would be good starting corals.

And how long should I keep them in to know in ready for more?

No fish yet...wait longer like chief said.

For coral advice, we need to know your lighting situation.

I would advise against ricordia mushrooms. Ricordia require high light and a much more stable tank than you have.
