WELCOME TO REEFLAND!

Information on starting up a FOWLR is given here: Setting Up a FOWLR Aquarium

That sized aquarium is not very good for keeping fishes. However, you can keep fish that reach a maximum of about 3" or a couple of very small fishes. One Anemonefish of the kind that are from the smaller species would work well in that aquarium. Two or three Damselfishes that are again from the smaller species would work well.

Start searching around and you'll find fish that don't get large. But don't overcrowd the tank.

JMO but i dont think it is a very wise choice to add an anemone at week one of a tank. it is almost sure to die as your tank cycles. you may want to establish your lr base and let the tank cycle before adding anymore livestock. check all of the stickys in the FO/FOWL section and the Reef section they are all very helpful. I am also wondering how you managed to cycle a tank in 1.5 weeks? i would kill for the trick to doing that.

well one of my friends came over and helped me mix everything and i've check everything everyday and it stayed the same all at good rates left if for about a week and a half and everything stayed good so everyone told me i could start adding to it
