The first fish is in, it’s the Royal Gramma Basslet and what a good looker it is. Its first reaction on entering the Nano Reef Tank was to disappear into a cave and I did not see it for another 5 hours! Then I spotted it lying on its side watching me and everything else in the tank. I turned all the pumps off to drop some food in as encouragement and when I came back to the tank with food it was enjoying itself exploring the tank. Its first meal was a little frozen mysis which seemed to hit the spot quite nicely as it fed straight away. Its been very active ever since, so a good start to the fish element of the tank.
