OK so now I have 60 lbs of live rock, and live sand...cycle just finished, or at least close to finishing. I know I still have a few crabs in the tank that I was unable to remove, I think I still have a few pistol shrimp (hear occasional cracking), a few starfish, and what is I think a clam, some small snails, plus any other "life" that came with the rock that I don't know about yet or can't identify.
I'll get some cleanup crew soon, but was wondering if there is something I should be putting in the tank to "feed" the life..or is the growth on the LR itself enough for now, till I add a couple of fish? Does it depend on what is in the tank now (as I said I know there are things that I don't know about). I heard about photoplankton for the clam, if I add that should I add any other "general purpose" food for the other critters? The crabs seem content flicking algae off of the rock.
BTW the plan here is a FO tank, not a full reef.
