Is the 'live rock' from the beach or coral rock from a marine tank? you have started a new tank off with a bio load and very little bacteria to complete your nitrogen cycle twice weekly 25% water changes will help to keep ammonia levels down for at least the next 2 months the red crab will eat everything in there, the shrimp and cats eye snails will help to clean up uneaten food and algae
