I'm new at all this, Oh and I am addicted

I started my aquarium 2 months ago. This is my first. I just got all my levels down to where I can add some fish and corals. I have a candy cane coral that lost one of it's branches so I super glued it to a rock. I hope it will do well. I also had, notice the word had, a decorator crab; he destroyed my first $30 coral. I also super glued the pods to another rock. They look great. The is at a local store for sale. I have 2 clown and 1 yellowbelly dansel, 1cleaner shrimp, 10 snails and 10 blue leg crabs. I also have 5 different corals including a feather duster that took over a snail shell. My tank is only a 29 gallon and I have it in my office. All of my employees visit it daily.

If anyone has any infor to help me improve my tank I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Tina

Tina,
You are brave to have a "new tank" on display in the office. How is it doing? I started two years ago with a 29 gallon (in my bedroom) hidden from public scrutiny because of salt creep, brown slime algae, green algae infested walls, messy cleanups, etc.

Then after a year, of practice, I thought, YEAH, I can do this.

I transferred to a 65 gal. in our family fireplace room. Now after I got all the experimenting down, I can proudly display it with a certain amount of confidence that it won't crash and be an eye sore to everyone. I was not as brave as you. GO GIRL!:

My main idea on improving is to get the best equipment that you can, like good lighting, submersible thermometer, a canister filter, etc.
Welcome to the forums,
