Aquarium Advice Regular
So my 40G breeder finished cycling. The numbers stayed steady for a couple days and I added my first livestock:
2 clowns
4 Nasarius
4 turbos
3 margaritas
3 hermits
2 peppermint shrimp
the clowns and the shrimp and the nassarius and margarita snails all seem to be doing fine and the levels all check perfect again today. My concern is the hermits and the turbos. The aren't moving much. The antennae move on the hermits but they are pretty locked up in there shells. Could it be to bright for them? I am running a Quad HO t5. Actinic from 9:30-11:30 then 5:30-7:30 and 2 10K bulbs from 10:30-5:30.
also I am worried there is not enough food for the snails. I have nori and a clip that I can put in. what is the best placement?
it's only a few days in and I am just nervous, but any words of encouragement or wisdom would be appreciated.
