Brett C Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Alright so the 5 day cycle really made me wary but I took a bottle of water today to be tested, all the parameters were spot on and the nitrates were around 10ppm. So I did a water change when I got home and knocked those down. And added in the first fish. The ever popular clown fish, I love these guys and it would be hard for me to have a saltwater tank without one. Also got a rock with a bit of coral on it and one other frag that I have no clue what either one is. I’ll try to include a picture of them tomorrow if they get opened up. And after doing some browsing I’ve decided to go and hunt a screen top because there are just to many options for fish that I like that are jumpers. Here’s the little guy, he’s already all over the place in the tank and he even ate about 20 minutes after I added him in. 3 Quote Link to comment
Brett C Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Went ahead and included the picture of the corals anyways, up in the top is the other frag I mentioned. I’ll still try to get a better one tomorrow once they open. 3 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Looks like paly's and possibly Kenya leather. You can easily diy a mesh screen with window frame kit. It's super easy. 2 Quote Link to comment

Ready to see it all opened up Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Great start! Baby clownfish are so cute 😍 1 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 That clownfish is adorable. I really like the openess of your scape too - plenty of room for the fish to swim. 😊 Do you have an official tank thread/journal yet? You can consider doing one - would love to follow along. 😊 Quote Link to comment

And no I haven’t started a tank thread yet but I think I will here in the next few days 2 Quote Link to comment
