Looks like a great tank, and I'm glad to see you put the crocea on the rocks. They really need to be there to thrive. Just watch as it grows though. They can reach 12" and it'll be your tank. It'll love some filter feeder food like Marine Snow or any of the various Kent Marine foods. The 22 lbs of LR is great. So many people under do the LR and pay the price later. Keep up the good work!
