Spent yesterday setting up and doing some light aquascaping. The build is a Fluval Evo VII, 13.5 all in one. Now time to cycle!

What are you doing for livestock?

What are you doing for livestock?

Unsure completely. The more research I do, the more it seems that having fish present encourages a more healthy reef ecosystem. I'd probably start with clownfish since they are reportedly fairly hardy. I really want to make this a coral centric tank, though, with some inverts to add character. If I could find an appropriately sized fish to help with algae control, that would be fantastic

Like an algae blenny. Love there personality.

After several good water tests I added the first fauna-a pair of clownfish and a rock flower nem! So far everyone seems happy!
