65 gallon build thread
Hello! This will be my official build thread. Today, I went to my LFS Barrier reef aquariums (would highly recommend them if you are in Washington state) And bought pretty much all I need to start a reef tank: Red Sea Reefer 300XL (65 gallons) with white stand Skimmer Lights Powerheads cleaning...

I wouldnt do any fish in addition to the clowns, just to let the tank stabilize and adjust to the new bio-load with the clowns. If you wanted to add one instead of a clown, depending on tank size, lyretails are always nice and fairly easy, algae blenny, damsel (use with caution some can be pretty aggressive)
However one thing you may want to do, but completely up to you, is do some research on your favorite fish and make a stock list, make sure they are all compatible (that was an issue for me on my first tank), and care instructions.
I found it to be super useful to have that list this time around, that way you know and are comfortable caring for all of the new additions.
corals? Theoretically you could, ive seen it done, mushrooms and zoas are always a good starting option IMO, but I am always more cautious. I just added my first coral in my new red sea set up and its 4.5 months in (Rasta Zoas). Again, could probably do it sooner if you wanted to, but be prepared that its probably more likely to have losses. And once again especially with corals, do your due diligance, always better to be proactive rather than reactive

What this guy is saying is. your badge button needs fixing.
I see the link to your badge at the bottom of your post, but it would be best to add it to the badge link on your profile.

I agree, I feel like a month is a good amount of time. def something you like in the tank where if it does thrive and takes over you dont regret it, but also something cheap enough where if it dies it doesn't kill a small piece of your soul.

More likely to die this early but its possible. Im with @Mibu though, I think a month is ideal if you can wait that long.

Chiming in with my thoughts 'cause I was right here with you. I added my two clowns yesterday, on day 8 of my cycle. I also used Fritz Turbostart (along with Microbater7), life rock and live sand, and dosed ammonia at the start. They're doing great!
