HI guys newbie in the house.

Had started my first saltwater tank 1 mth ago. All the while was keeping freshwater fish like aro, rays, pb and tiger...

Decided to take a try back then for saltwater is due to wanted to learn more and make a fantastic saltwater tank for my baby son viewing purpose as marine tank the colours really will attract kids more.

Less talking and let some pics do the talking...

A very nice tank, for a month that's impressive. Can you share the setup details? Do you also maintain a quarantine tank or new fish goes straight into the display tank?

Normally for freshwater I straight dump fish into my main tank without quarantine it as mostly the fish I get from the lfs had already quarantine it for freshwater. But for marine tank I will try to maintain my Discipline by quarantining fishes before putting it into display tank in future as do not want to make everything up side down.

Nice tank! How long does it take for the anemone to host the clown

Actually not long. Should say once I place the anemone in the tank the clown straight first reaction is rape the anemone. Rub non stop till the anemone opens up for half an hour

Is that a maroon clown fish? If so, be careful as it might be aggressive towards new fish in the future.

Yes that's a golden maroon clown. This bugger has stop me from getting other clown like black clown due to its aggressiveness. Might give away or release back to nature in future if wanted to comm other clowns

Very nice tank bro! I can't believe when you said you're a newbie. You have so much great stuff inside already. My tank is still waiting to stabilise before I dare to add anything :chair:
