I'd go with live sand... aragonite is a good brand. For small fish, you could go with a fire fish, barnacle blenny, hectors goby, green banded goby, or Catalina goby. I'd only go with 1 shrimp, and start it off as small as possible.. you could go with a peppermint or scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. Just know that the more fish you add, the more macro algae you should add to help you keep nitrates within a safe range. You'll still want to do weekly water changes. For other clean up crew members, I'd go with 2 cerith snails, 2 trochus snails, and 4 assorted (small) hermit crabs

I have a turbo, a nassarius, 2 nerrite, 2 small hermits, and a small emerald crab....emerald is active and fun to watch. My tank is 5 gallons.

My dream tank is nowhere near to be found, a big floor to ceiling system. It may never come true so I am happy with what I have.
I have realized I love my little 5 gallon pico WAYYYY more than the 60 gallon I have at home....Think I will downsize the home tank to a 32 biocube...less is more

I've been stressed all day worried about the tank. Andrew has worried and didn't have an opportunity to check it out on the Wyze. He ran in and before I could get out of the car, he ran back out and hugged the crap out of me! I wasn't sure at first what it meant. The frogspawn is GOOD!!!

That is a really good news ! I have been looking for info about frogspawn and one guy from a LFS told me some time the frogspawn spun of some branches as a way to propagate himself. o_O

I also knew about that. There are lots of new heads right there at that branch. I did wonder about it. Still not 100% sure.

Why do I now picture him kicked back in mirrored sunglasses with "his people" texting for him here on R2R?
Cause it is correct.
