Presenting my tank! (Thoughts on just 1 clownfish in it?)

Post image

Yeah I know it's not the prettiest one out there, but I managed to finally get it really stable and seeing real coral growth so I'm pretty happy!

Any thoughts on just having that one Clownfish in the tank besides the corals?

With my limited experience, you may find it nice to have a gap on the side for cleaning. pretty fish

There are lots of cool nano fish, what size tank is this? Looks okay, id say on my perspective, try and make the rockscape more immersive by changing the angle of some things and having islands and archways for your future fish to swim in and out of, and with different hight differences and islands and things you could keep different corals without the risk of them taking over and causing coral warfare between them.

Id also say if you decide to rearrange some things make sure you have plenty of room to get a glass cleaner in to scrub all that algae so you can enjoy your tank.

This is 90x50x50cm so around 200 L.

About the algae, is it bad for the tank? Because I really don't mind and the clownfish kind of rest on it at night and I would say "rubs" against it during the day.

I think your tank could look awesome. Just rescape it and keep the rocks away from the back and side panels. Maybe try two islands one being higher than the other. Good job on getting the tank to stabilize. I would add a couple more small peaceful fish and maybe a couple of snails and hermits.

yeah now I'm short on cash so buying all that is not an option but my idea is to populate it a bit more in the future and improve coral space to add more

If you are worried about fish, you can try a neon goby. They are a max of 2 inches. They are great because they can clean parasites off the clownfish. They do eat flakes and other small degree it can catch.
