I have 45 pounds of live rock with 2 clown fish and royal gramma in a 38 gallon. Had it for 1 year and had no issues but I would love to add a green mandarin as my last fish. I understand the difficulty feeding them ,I did a lot of research. Just want to make sure size would be ok.

I am thinking about converting my 20 gallon freshwater aquarium into a seahorse aquarium. I have done lots of research but I still feel like I don't really know what to do. Many places recommend live sand and some don't even use substrate at all. What is best? Also would a standard cartridge...
