I want to set up my 55g as a shell dweller tank. I know I'll need shells sand and salt or coral for a higher ph. I'm running a emporer 400 for filtration. I would like a large colony with multiple breeding pairs if possible.

I would like suggestions on what fish would work well.

What plants if any I could use.

And if I should should use any decoration AKA holey rock drift wood ex.

Thanks for yalls help.

your getting the cichlids correct?
