Tank looks good. You are however pushing the envelope having all of that, especially the LTA in a one month old tank. Be very careful.

Sorry. A little ove r2 months old. You are right I should have looked at the dates.
As for the LTA I have read in numerous places that an anemone should not be introduced until 6 months down the road. I am just trying to alert you to the fact that you are going to have to keep a close eye on your water husbandry and lighting to enure success.
There are many success stories from people that are doing exactly as you have done and I wish you success with your LTA.
Tank is looking very good.

thank you ill post more pix later on. i bought more lr and 2 nassarius and 1 spotted mandarin
 
You might be pushing the mandarin a bit early as your tank need time to build up an abundance of copepods. They say you can get them to eat live brine, but from what I hear it's not an easy task.
 
yea i have a corner in my tank with caulerpa growing hopefully it will help copepods hide and grow there. also i saw it nible on some brine. hopeflly it will continue that
