| New Tank, First Fish added
This is my first try at keeping a saltwater tank. Just added my pair of clownfish yesterday. Was so hoping to keep a black and orange together and luckly they are getting along wonderfully. They are always swimming side by side, it's so cute
More rock will be added in a couple weeks. And then a couple more tankmates. But this is what I have so far... It's nice to finally have fish swimming around in there =) |

| Wow that is a beautiful tank! I have always dreamed tof having a 30gal nano cube with a pair of clowns or 5 firefish, but haven't had the room (or cash!) to build one. I love the black clownie! How many gallons is it? | |

| Thankya! It's a 29g. I'm thinking about adding a purple firefish one of these days maybe. I'd say I have room for a couple more small fish and just can't decide which ones yet. | |

| That's looking very nice, and the clowns are a cool addition.
I would suggest adding more live rock. To minimize the risk of a mini cycle, I would cure it in another container first rather than adding it directly to the tank. Just a thought. | |

| Matt: Well I don't really plan on it, but if they plan on it is the question... lol. If they do decide to have babies I have a tank saltwater ready for the lil ones. But that shouldn't be anytime soon. Atleast I don't think it'll be soon... I don't know how old they have to be before they mate...?
Harpua: I know we need more. Going to go rock shopping this weekend. There are two LFS's in town and both sell fully cured rock. I plan on buying another big piece now and then, if needed, get more in a couple weeks.
The clowns were the boyfriends pick but they are growing on me fast. I had my two year old son watching Finding Nemo and told him we were going to go "Find Nemo" to put in the empty tank. He's been all kinds of excited about it. Soooo looks like the orange one will be named Nemo | |

| Update
Got some more rock today. Starting to look much better. Plus all the critters growing on and hiding in the rock are fun to watch. Just found I have a baby starfish today when I was moving the new rock in, but couldn't get a pic of it. Also kind of adopted a Spotted Cardinal today, The boyfriend's mom had one that was getting picked on bad and asked if we'd take it.
Anyways here's a couple pics of the new additions | |

Anyways here's a couple pics of the new additions | Whoah, that's a nice set-up. But why not trying to set-up an anenome for the clownfish? | |

| Thank you all =)
Did lots of reading up, alot on this site, so I could get it all right. Sooo thank you guys for all the great info.
I have thought about the anemone for the clowns... Thinking I might wait awhile and see how things go. My boyfriend's mother has them in her tanks with clowns and it is neat to watch. She has them in biocubes so going to see how her's do with the lighting before I get one. | |

| They may survive, but I don't think that the lighting in the Biocube is sufficient for long term health. Many clowns will host a LPS coral, like frogspawn. Mine prefer the Koralias to frogspawn though. LOL | |
