Can I add

Hi guys,
just want to let you in on where I am at the moment,
55 gall
1 x canister filter 1200 litres per hour
1 x internal power head at 1000 litres per hour
and another internal power head rated at 2000 litres per hour ( I am running it at half output)
2 x marine acitic blue light at 10000 k each
1 x marine white at 10000 k
Red sea prizm skimmer
60 lbs live rock

any way I know I moved a bit fast (cause you guys told me ) I got over excited
any way Tank has been up and running for 9 weeks now and as I told you before (when you got frustrated with me)
about 4 weeks ago I added 2 x Tomatoe clowns around 1 to 2 inches each
a week later I added a Bubble tip Anemone about 6 to 8 inches when opened a week after that I added a Coral beauty( that I lost)
and a week and half ago I added a rabbitface,
all aquatics appear fine so far

Nitrates are a little high though around 15 ppm, all other tests okay,
I have no intention of adding corals to this tank , but would love another Anemone , what do you think??

I still say your protein skimming capacity is woefully deficient. When you quote your lights, what is the wattage/ type of light being used? I wouldn't add anything else for a while- work on getting your NO3 level down a bit more.
