Newbie Advice

Ok, so i think i may have commited a newbies error.

I'm set up my first Saltwater Tank, its a 29 Gallon FOWLR. Its been setup for a month now. I have 3 Chromis and 1 Percula.

Today i purchased 2 sand dollars and a Strawberry Conch. I also bought a Potters Angel.

Am I screwed from the get go, or will these be ok in my tank?

Start off by saying never had any of the stock your talking about but can't see a problem with the Potters and Conch but never read anything good about keeping Sand dollars long term in anything but large established tank (they starve).

Research first, not saying don't trust the salesman, but they are there for the sale, then buy.

You might have wanted to slow down the addition of critters in your tank. It's a month old? Has it cycled fully yet?

Just my opinion.....

29 gallons is not big enough for a sand dollar.

nor is it big enough for a conch. my advice to you is research first, then buy; and when i say research, i mean research properly. Dont just look around until you find what you want to hear or base evrything you know off of one site (not even this one).
