My first live addition (not counting the LR and Sand) Feather duster I put him in at about 45 days or so just before I threw in a couple Mexi Turbos.
My first fish 90 days from day 1
Order: Perciformes
Family: Pomacentridae (Damselfishes)
Sub-Family: Amphiprioninae
Scientific Name: Amphipirion perideraion (Bleeker, 1855)
Other Common Names: Pink Clownfish, Pink Anemonefish, Pink Skunk Anemonefish.
I think if he gets a name it will have to be Mr T. see the mowhak and litle skinny sideburns? yeah you see the Mr T. dontcha'?
Of course I have several hundred other fish in other tanks, ponds pools etc... this one is just special the first at the reef I have spent the last 20 years being too chicken to attempt.
My 30G Hex pseudo-reef I still haven't figured out my lighting as it is challenging to squeeze a good light in under 18" of space you can see my cords and such still there on the left hand side.
I have an anemone in there now and I will get a picture of her when I get a chance, nice and bright green.
in the back of the tank you can see some hot prints of my clown in an anemone to try to get the idea to the clown fish that it might be nice, I must thank boomerD for that little tidbit. Thanks again.
I converted my mini agressive fish only tank for my first attempt at the live reef. it's becomming an obsession to see just what I can grow, I've found all kinds of little monsters in there like bristle worms, spaghetti worms sponges, mini feather dusters and brittle stars, I also found what has been suspected of being a coral growing in the substrate in the rear of the tank. see below--->
