PathOfDeception Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi guys, new to the forum and new to reefing after good success with planted tropical tank. I recently purchased a 20 gallon long tank that has been cycling for 5 days so far with the help of some Dr Tims One and Only Nitrifying bacteria. Of course with this on the way I am very excited to stock the tank and will be waiting for my cycle to be complete, I am no newbie to cycling and such. Now for stocking I had a few ideas that I will list below, I understand that in a 20 gallon I am restricted on stocking so please give me so ideas. My plans for full stock (of course not all fish in one go) were -pair of clowns (1 occelaris and 1 picasso) - 1 Blue/green chromis - 1 firefish - Hopefully a smaller goby - various snails based on your recommendations - 1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp - 1 Emerald Crab This would be my full stock over the span of months. Would this be a decent stock for my nano 20 Long tank? Overcrowded? Compatibility? Here is my equipment so far: - 20L Tank - 20 Lbs Live Rock - 20 Lbs Live Sand - 2xKoralia powerheads 425GPH each - Aqua clear 70 refugium mod running carbon and filter floss - Oceanic Biocube Protein Skimmer (will prob replace feels like junk) - 2x50Watts Heaters - Lighting will be T5s HO that I am getting next week (not using much light during cycle) - RO Buddie RO water unit - Instant Ocean Reef Salt Planned water changes is weekly 15-20% How does it sound what would you recommend from experience and personal success.? Thank you guys for your time! Link to comment
seabass Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Welcome to N-R.com. Your list sounds fine. While there could be an issue with the Chromis and Clownfish (as the two are related), I suspect that it will be alright. Link to comment

yomon347 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would recommend a top or screen for the firefish as they are known jumpers. Link to comment
