Keep the water fresh and clean. Good for the fish to be in the larger tank. 54L is approximately just over 14G for USA members.
Feed just what the fish will eat at one time, a couple pellets at a time, he eats, a couple more, in a few minutes. If fed way too much, they can eat and eat and eat until the food in their stomach expands and can kill them.
As for the salt it is good to know the parameters of your water you use for the tank. If it is tap water from the sink of your home, it is good to see what the water levels are:
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
pH
KH carbonate hardness or alkalinity
GH general hardness
TDS total dissolved solids
Chlorine/Chloramines or what chemical your water company uses to make water safe to drink
You can feed some in morning and some in evening if you like to cut the amount of food for the day in 2 parts. I like to feed the fish so I like to do 2 small feedings rather than one time per day.
