New to this form, and new to Marine tanks. So far it's been a lot of fun, but I do have a few welcoming questions...!
I have a 72 gallon bowfront so it is only 4 ft long.
I have heard of the 1 inch of fish to every 5 gallon rule, how strict is this?
I have had my tank set up for a couple months now and have 2 Clownfish, a Cleaner Shrimp, and a reently added Royal Gramma along with a few assorted snails and crabs. I am planning out my stocking and know that I definitely want a Flame Angelfish in my tank and eventually a Mandarian (I know the tank has to mature quite a while before this fish can be added). Is that the most I would be able to have in my tank? I was told at my LFS that I could have 30 inches of fish... a little skeptical of that, but I have really fallen for the one spot foxface and either the Tomini or Kole Tang. I heard they are the smallest and least aggressive fish, would this be over stocking my tank?
I have 80lbs of live sand and 60 lbs of live rock in my tank currently and a Fvluval 405 filter.
I am currently feeding my tank about 1/4-1/3 of a cube of frozen Brine Shrimp with Garlic, is this correct?
Any suggestions wold be appreciated.
