Native Species Advice Needed (LI Sound)

Hi!

New to the forum, and if I am in the wrong place, kindly redirect me.

I have a 35 gallon hex that I planned on selling. But, plans change

Long story short, I am now the guardian of 7 Northern Pipefish of varying sizes, some crabs I cannot identify, a few snails and hermits, as well as 5 silversides and 1 killifish. They were all caught in a seine net about 6 weeks ago. Everyone told me that they wouldn't survive -- but I took that as a challenge and they are all healthy. However, I am not sure how to keep them that way.

I have sponge filters for filtration, as well as seaweed-encrusted rocks, some oysters, and some macro-algae (I think).

I am moving everyone into a 56 gallon tank -- 30" x 18" X 24" tall.

Any advice?????
Please?????

TIA --
 
Hi Carol.

I have been running a Chesapeake Bay native tank, an oyster reef biotope aquarium. Right now I have two 20g tanks set up and have been keeping fish and inverts since May. All of the stuff in my two tanks will wind up in my final 100g display as soon as I can get everything done. Perhaps there is some info that might help you. I'd suggest checking out from page 7 on. Here's the link. I look forward to seeing more of your project in the future.
