So I'm to the point now I have 15 lbs of live rock and 80 lbs of sand in the tank. It is all cycled and I just put in a pair of occ. Clowns last night. They are doing well so far. I also have 3 scarlet hermit crabs and 6 astrea snails.
So now for a few questions...
First and foremost once I start adding fish (like I have) can I add more live rock or will the die off cause an amonia spike? I just realized that there isn't a whole ton of room for coral now that I have everything done. But if I can't add I guess I can always rearrange some to make more places for the corals.
And second how many other fish can I add to this set up? I have a aqualife 50 filter on it. No protein skimmer or anything like that. Just the filter. And for now I just have the stock hood for lighting but plans for a big upgrade soon.
I was thing maybe some sort of sand dwelling fish or sand sifting fish to keep the sand airated. Any sugestions on good fish for this job? Or even if this is a good idea.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Ill post a few pictures when I get home from work of the tank and the fish.
Thanks
