    hello I'm from dubai too.. regarding your sand: do the vinegar test. I tried the sand in jumeirah and they are very high in silicates. i'd recommend you buy a bag of sand in our LFS.

    thats a nice looking tank kingterra

    the crab is a species of hermit

    the blenny , your tank does not have any algae to speak of , it looks very clean, so your going to have to feed it with some Nori or alternative vegatables , dont want to rain on your parade, but keep an eye on it, if it wont eat what you put in for it and starts to look thin, may be a good idea to swap it for a less specialist food requiring species

    Im sure you have finished cycling? are your Amonia and Nitrites at zero
    in general, only add 1 fish per week ( OK 2 if your going with clowns)

    with 2 clowns, 1 damsel and the blenny - I think you are at stocking capacity of your 30


    good looking set up Kingterra
