Set up my 65 gallon some several months ago - it is my first one. I have 45-50 lbs of live rock and 2 in of live sand, and all of the needed acessories (filter, skimmer etc.). I started off with two clownfish and waited around a month. Over the last couple months I have added more, most still in there, a couple not making it. Now I have:
-two clownfish
-a Coral beauty angel
-some type of wrasse (curious which one so i will post a picture at a later time since i cant seem to find which one it is)
-Green mandarin
-two Banggai Cardinalfish (just added today)
-Some mushroom coral (again will post picture as curios which one, just added couple days ago)
-Sandsifting Starfish (just added today)
-4 Snails
-7 or 8 hermit grabs
-a pom pom crab
-an emeral crab
-a yellow clown goby
so far the aquarium is doing really nice and is in really nice condition (no high levels in anything really, good salinity). For now i don't want to add much more to the aquarium although it does not look full. I was wondering what I can do to improve the aquarium though. I am a beginner but from my local fish store really all i do is feed brime shrimp each day. I was told to feed once a day but most things online is 3-4. Which one should i do? Also what can i place in the aquarium to just improve it? I read some thing that the mandarin needs some type of food (although my store said it does not and will be fine with just picking on sand) - the web suggested pods but they seemed pretty complicated and i would have no idea what to do. Also i was told mandarin will eat a lot of thing in the sand, and after i bought the starfish i read online that a lot of times there is a probelm where there is not a lot to eat in the sand and it will adventually starve - is there a way to help that?
