First fish

[Psherman42]

Hi, i got my first fish today. Am very exited to see life in the tank. I got 2 tiny clowns, and a very very small royal gramma. I also got gsp but its not open yet (everything been in for about 6 hours) I floated and dropped them. The royal was not looking too good and was laying on his side. After adding him to the tank he darted for the caves and I couldn't see him for 30 min. Then he came to the front and chose a cave right where I wanted him to go. He's been there since, he comes out. He seems happy. I added some live copepods at the same time and ALL fish instantly ate. The gramma gomes out and hunts. The clowns are staying together. Im so excited to be back. Should I be testing every day for the next week to make sure everything is good? When should I do first water change?. I plan on waiting 2 weeks to add more corals, and a cuc. No more fish for atleast a month. Thanks guys. Little vid and pic below.

Thanks. It took me forever to build lol. The arch on the right is actually a huge dead acropora coral. The gramma lives at the bottom i didn't realise there was a whole cave system in the bottom right rock. All the big holes are connected

Congrats.

What is your current heater strategy?

I bought a proper one this time. Also has the controller outside of the water and its not glass. I also made sure to get a more wattage one than I needed.
