New to keeping

I've been in the hobby for a little over a month now. I had been keeping 2 betas in an aquaponics experiment for the last few years, so my trip to the LFS for their food resulted in picking up some impulse mudskippers before I even had a tank. Within the week, my efforts to keep them happy blossomed into a full blown obsession.


1 month old 90g brackish:

60g of tap water in a 48x21x20 treated with 40ml of prime & 5ml of flourish
2g of filter sand 20/40
3g of black diamond 20/40
1g of quartz mixed with .5g of fluval stratum
4g crushed coral
3x local beach driftwood
2x fingerwood
1x malaysian driftwood
6x java ferns


circulation:
2 airpumps with 2 AC/wool filters,
1 airstone
& a 800gph sump dry filter

stock:
3x fancy guppies
2x mollies
3x monos
2x mudskippers
1x flounder
1x figure 8 puffer
1x fiddler crab
2x dragonfish
10x purple shore crabs
~10x ghost shrimp

2 week old 55g fresh:

45g RO water in a long
3g black diamond 20/40 mixed with 2g fluval stratum
1g river rock gravel
1g black diamond 30/60 cap
2x water hawthorne
4x water onion
6x hornwort
10x dwarf hairgrass
6x baby tears
frogbit

1 small airstone
1 desk fan

3x axlotls
4x oto catfish

I also have 2 20g tanks that I originally tried to put the mudskippers in that are now dry, but I hope to do shrimp in one, and a nano reef in the other.

attached is the only pic I have, it's of the 90g brackish. I took it immediately after setting up and the tank has changed quite a bit since.
