Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Okay, so I just recently started my first saltwater aquarium. Its a 55 gallon, with protein skimmer, Magnum 350 filtration system, and no sump. I have a friend that I bought the setup from as he upgraded to a 210 gallon.
I set it up with live sand first, let that sit and settle, added 6 pieced of live rock and in the past week, finally bought some fish (lawnmower blenny, green clown goby, 2 yellow tail damsels and a pink pin urchin), CUC (10 blue legged hermits, 5 turbo snails, 2 emerald crabs, and pods), and coral (1 fragment of red polyp and 1 red mushroom). My coral is currently looking a little weak, and was bought from a LFS, but not a chain store. I am needing more live rock, but the LFS is outrageous in price.
What advice do you have for me to add to my aquarium and purchase live rock?
