    Is yours a 24 gallon or 19? The one linked to is a 19gal. Well, a pair of clown fish is a good start. There are some really cool damsel fish too that would be ok in that size tank as well as some gobies such as a yellow watchman goby.
    As scuba said, it sounds like you are cycling now. Do you have any experience with saltwater or have you done your research? You should be testing the water to ensure your cycle is done. When that is over, you can start adding livestock. start slowly. Also keep in mind that with that size tank, over stocking can become an issue so take it slow. Good luck and hope this helps

    yea, clownfish are fun. I like pearly jawfish, they tend to have alot of personality and have a peaceful demeanor (will occasionally spit rocks at fish that get too close to their burrow). I've heard its very fun to watch if you get more than one. Careful though, they tend to be jumpers when spooked, which seems to happen quite easily

    I also really enjoy my skunk cleaner shrimp, hes very active and sometimes comical when hes trying to clean the other fish.
