Finally stocked the tank :)

Well thank you for the help along the way. Everyone is awesome here with helping out new people like myself. I added the slim skim protein skimmer, about 15 lbs of live rock, some artificial decor and let the tank cycle. Today we transfered over our two clown fish, blended shrimp, fire fish, pajama Cardinal, Valentini puffer, lyretail anthias, 6 turbo snails, and 15 hermit crabs. I still want to add a few more active fish. Our anthias and Cardinal like to hide a lot, same with the blended shrimp. I will post photos here in a little when I find the time to take photos. Thanks again

And I was aware about the anthias until I got home that they require a pretty large tank after doing some research. So when he starts to grow more, I'll have to find a new owner for him

These clowns have always been at each other's side

Shrimp likes to hide in his cave. I'll try to get a better shot with the camera once it charges.

Cardinal

I guess I missed the part where it said the height of the skimmer when I bought it. I thought but returning it but I decided to stick with it

Looks good! Just be careful, adding a whole lot of fish at the same time, especially in the beginning stages of your tank, may be tough on them.
Best of luck!

Everyone seems to be getting along right now. The Cardinal and anthias are babies and hide, same with the shrimp. The puffer liked to pick at the snails and hermit crabs when I first added him, but he seemed to stop now
