Potential Problem?

[markgsu]

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Just started my 90 gallon about a week ago, everything new. Bought live cured rock from Creation and I have been testing for 10 days now. I have added some fish (3 Chromis, mated pair of Percs, 1 Damsel), 16 snails, 12 hermits, etc but I still haven’t seen any increase in any of my levels (Ammonia, Nitrite, or Nitrate).</span></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Everyone in the tank is doing fine, eating swimming except for my clowns who just swim up and down in one corner (not sure if this is a problem). </span></span>
I had a Diatom bloom a few days ago, already so I think the tank is good and cycled. I have tested, retested and tested again. All with the same
results.

Temp: 78 F
Salinity: 1.024
Ph: 8.2
Amn: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Calc: 415
Alk: 7.5 (Which I started dosing today)
​

Is this a problem or am I making it up in my head?

id say about 50 percent of the clowns ive had do the same thing when first introduced to the tank..ive read this is in attempt to establish a "base" of sorts where they will sleep, nest, etc...thats what ive read but i know there are others here more experienced than i

I think you'll be fine bro. I cycled my tank for only 2 weeks and I stocked it up pretty good the third week. I used LR from my old tank with new sand. I didn't even have a diatom bloom in my tank. Nothing turned brown and all levels or perfect. I even put clams in there the third week it was up. It was like my tank didn't even cycle. I guess that was due to me reusing some stuff. 3 months later my tank is the most successful reef tank I've own so far. All my coral open up great and all my fish are fat!!
