I have a 65 gallon tank that has been up and running for over a month now. I have 65lbs of LR which was added about 3 weeks ago and a 3" DSB. This past weekend I added my cleanup crew (once my nitrites had returned to 0).
I have for my clean up crew
20 Blue Leg Crabs
5 scarlet crabs
2 emerald crabs
1 arrow crab
5 Mexican Turbo Snails
15 Astrea Snails
10 Nassarius Snails
5 Bumble Bee
1 Cleaner Shrimp
2 Serpent Star Fish
2 Lettuce Nudibranch
*?* Now I'm thinking about fish and what to feed them. I thought figuring out equipment and the initial setup was confusing but it pales in comparison to figuring this part out, so I need some help.
What I'm thinking
1 Yellow Tang
3 Banggai CardinalFish
2 Clown Fish
1 Neon Dottyback
1 Royal Gramma
What else should I add? Can I add them all at once, or is there a specific order?
What should I feed them, flakes, pellets, live, frozen . . . what brands? There seems to be unending choices and not a lot of advice or literature. Right now I'm feeding my critters with "Spectrum THERA+A by New Life" it was recommended by the store that sent me the critters. What else do I need when I add the fish.
*?* Supplements. Should I be adding any supplements such as Calcium to the tank
