    So i picked it up a few hours ago and i filled it with water and its a little dirty, there is some algae on the back and on the rocks, but i know why, isnt that major of a prob i can get rid of it. But he gave me a clown,huge lawnmower blenny and a yellowhead goby..But as you all know my 14g is stocked to its full as of right now. I have them just floating in bags right now..But can i add the fish in there right away? i just took his water and added it straight to the tank once it was setup.

    The water is cleared up and stuff by now tho..What do you guys think?

    Well I bet the filter feeders and such are still in order, the params are almost the same, is the substrate the same? I would use Ph buffer and drip acclimate the fish if you decide to go through with it.

    Algae scrubber pads for the back of the tank. Toothbrush and tweezers for the rocks.
