Hi all
Ive had my tank running for 3 weeks now.
I have a 285 litre tank with overhead trickle filter,single power head,20 kilos of live rock & a large shipwreck.
Any ideas would be greater appreciated
Thank you

im just wanting to try a couple of hardy fish first
I dont want them causing to many problems when i want to put more fish in later.
Ive heard damsels can cause a problem

try clown fish...doesn't matter what kind. they are all hardy. fire fish are a good starter, cardinal fish, dottybacks, most goby's, some small wrasses. these are fish groups i would look in at first. i would search what kinds you like cause this is a matter of preference.

The first fish I put in my tank were bluegreen chromis. They are pretty hearty. I have 5 of them but you could go with 3 or 4. They are inexpensive and it's fun to watch them schooling together. They are also not as aggressive as damsel's so they can be kept in your tank when you start getting more fish.
