hi! im excited about all of this, ive been keeping freshwater for a year now and wanted to start a salt since for my biology minor i focused on marine biology! and i am finally in a stable place and hopefully ready to start!
i do not want to try corals yet, just want to get my feet wet. i have a twenty that i have set aside for a salt and i have done a lot of reading. and have come up with a list of possible inhabitants so criticize me please and if you have a suggested order in which to introduce the inhabitants please let me know! i have live sand all set up and have cycled it with a horseshoe crab i saved from a moving friend. anyways i was thinking:
dwarf blue leg hermit crabs (how many?)
ivory cerith snails (would the crabs kill them? how many?)
a tiger pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby
and two clownfish (i do not know what kind yet, maybe one if this is to much)
is this overstocked? i know salt are more easily overstocked...
