    I ended up deciding to put another clown in, slightly different colors but of the same type. At first there was a bit of a showdown, but now they seem to be getting along. I also added a cleaning crew into the tank, so now it is just a matter of keeping up with the tank. Pictures to follow!

    Cool. Congrats on your adds. I might invest in a small auto feeder if I were you. They can be fairly inexpensive and with some New Life Spectrum in there, it will be nice if you are going away, or the fish are without food for a few days.

    As for light timer, any of the just generic digital home depot timers would work. Nothing fancy needed for the on/off of lighting:)

    Congrats on the new clown.

    Do not over feed and monitor for ammonia and nitrites for the first week after the new addition. In a small tank that is important, also have some fresh SW made up to do a water change.
